Walker Art Gallery

I do enjoy a wander around an art gallery. I find it gives the visual side of my brain a work out! The “Walker” was no exception. My taste in art is pretty random. I like some modern art, the stuff that makes me think, not the famous pile of bricks type. I like a good painting, but nothing too realistic or it may as well be a photograph. I like a sculpture, but not particularly anything too classical. Of course I like photography!

The large image on the wall, above, is not a photograph. Such images always amaze me that a human is able to do that with a brush and paint! Even though I ask myself why not just make a photo self portrait? Below is another conundrum, my black and white photograph is pointless, it’s all about colour. A bunch of blank artists canvases, each, in one of those thin, cheap, carrier bags that thankfully we don’t see polluting the planet so much these days. Each carrier is a different colour. Don’t cross the line – are they dangerous? (Yes, to wildlife and the planet!)

The gallery also has a more traditional selection of art, pottery, sculpture and even a Hockney or two!

After all that brain exercise, there was time of only one last thing – the coffee shop! You can’t image the trouble I had getting the arm and the knife in the “right” place!
