Well, let's start with photos I took in the Walker Gallery! :3
?? 0.0 pigeons??
Before we entered the Walker Gallery, there were many 'pigeons' waiting for us on the roof of the building and outside the entrance :3. This is indeed an exhibition produced by Patrick Murphy, an it is named 'Belongings'. There are 150 pigeons on the exterior of the gallery and this is actually Murphy's respond to the Biennial's theme - 'The Unexpected Guest'. A Biennial is being held this year and this is almost the end of it already (it ends on the 25th of November). A lot of art work would be shown during this period of time and we luckily had the chance to look at them. I was also really satisfied by all the exhibitions we've been to as well. ^ ^
The look of Walker Gallery!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are photos of the paintings inside the gallery, mainly from the John Moores Painting Prize 2012 exhibition. :)
Don't be suspicious... this is really a painting!!! It is very realistic and you can even see the eyelashes and the pimples XP of this person in the painting! This painting is called 'Aphasia' and is drawn by a prizewinner of the John Moores Painting Prize 2010, who calls Hu Wenlong, using oil paints on canvas. This artist really shows his very high art technique in this painting and I am thinking that if anyone can produce something like this in the exam, they can definitely get an A*. ><"
This is another piece that impressed me very much. It is called 'The Exiled Forever Coming in to Land', drawn by Ged Quinn (also a prizewinner of the John Moores Painting Prize 2010 0.0), using oil paints on canvas. This is a very imagery and beautiful painting which has a meaning behind: the white horse is said to be a 'cheesy symbol of death and is loved by fantasy poster artist' and the self portrait (next to the horse) is a portrait of artist Caspar David Friedrich who gives Quinn the inspiration of the building.
This is an oil painting drawn by Edward Atkinson Hornel, one of the 'Glasgow Boys' (a group of Scottish artists combining the ideas of French realist painters and Whistler's use of colour), in 1891. >< And this painting is already 121 years old... It's very colourful and the mood of it really matches its title: 'Summer'. :D The two girls look cheerful and cute as well~ ^ ^
This is a 'wall' made by origami butterflies, in remembrance of people sacrificed in the current Afghan conflict on 10/11/2012. It's called 'The Killing Jar' and is aimed to popularize the Killing Jar project.
This is a 'defaced' sculpture!! My friends laughed so much after they saw it because it has no face!! XDD
A bird postcard I found in the shop in the gallery! The two birds are so cute and fluffy~~
