ART FAIR CRAZY

With all the art fairs going on this weekend, I decided to go to some of the gallery openings Friday night. First stop MARS GALLERY, there was some fun stuff, a lot of mediocre photographs of like wise celebrities, I'm not sure what that was saying? I these small colour drawings of individual children with speech bubbles containing one word, which commented on today's culture. Then down the street to BUCKET RIDER They were showing just one artist Gisela Insuaste and her "aerial nomads". She paints these simple structures on wood panels in a carefully chosen muted colour palate, which talk about space in regards to the individual and a group/community. Then she recreates the paints in these ceiling high, ever so delicate bamboo stick structures. Very Cool! Also went to BODYBUILDER and WENDY COOPER before finishing off at NOVA, which is an art fair put on by BRIDGE MAGAZINE. A wide variety of art, artists and media. I felt that there was a lot of OP-ART, which surprised me.
