Western Australia Art Gallery

Another revelation. Aboriginal modern Art is something very special. From political paintings to an adaptation of the famous dreamland themes updated to today's realities, it is an amazing fusion that creates a very distinctive Art and should deserve to be shown in galleries around the world. Unfortunately, it goes pretty ignored outside of Australia at the moment but the day the Art world will have enough of the current Asian 'Mao big heads' trend and will realise the creative potential going on Down Under there is no doubt that the prices will skyrocket. In the meantime, you should really discover what is going on and the best way is to visit the fabulous Western Australia Art Gallery.

Furtivo

No. No. I promise. Nothing is wrong with the above picture... it is just the effect of another clever sculpture from Xavier Veilhan. When in Paris I always enjoy gallery hopping. One of my favourite being the Galerie Perrotin mostly due to the fact that they previously housed and promoted pieces by some of my preferred artists like Maurizio Cattelan, Tatiana Trouve, Mr., Aya Takano, Chiho Aoshima and most importantly Takashi Murakami. While in the area I also entered a few more galleries and I had the pleasant surprise to discover a new artist at the Galerie Eric Mircher called Steve Galloway. If you happen to be in the area I would strongly suggest you pop in any of those places.
