'Confessions of Dangerous Minds' in Chippendale

Solidarity yesterday when I went along to see Bruno Valente's and Simon Kahn's work at this one-day show. I'd never seen such a large number of canvases by these two artists before, though the three of us had exhibited together in August.


Kahn's works (above) are in this show made of glitter. The technique is nothing short of miraculous, the barriers between one colour on the canvas and the next are super sharp givng the works a sort of machine-made look.

Valente offers something different and if you liek surrealism his works are ideal for you. These are really thought-provoking canvases that bend the edges of the possible and make your head fill with thoughts. Which is a good thing; art SHOULD make you think.

I stayed for a couple of hours chatting then caught the bus home.
