Photo diary – Berlin

I have really neglected taking photographs and sharing them of late so I picked up my (Gene’s) new camera and snapped a few things that have made me really happy lately.

My Mother stayed with me recently and gave me a few extra pennies to go and get some clothes for myself. There is a shop I like on my old street- Manteuffel Str- called Leche and I really like some of their pieces:

I opened up my brown paper bag to find this little bracelet:

In one of my favourite second hand book stores on Dieffenbachstr, I came across this beautiful copy of Virginia Woolf’s biography by Quentin Bell. I wont be able to read this one in the bath but I think it is just beautiful- I will treasure this.

Spring is springing and slowly Berlin is turning green all over- blossoms and tulips budding too- makes me appreciate the ambiance plant life can bring to such a big city.

 

Exhibition details- solo & group

I got back to work yesterday, my solo exhibition dates have been confirmed- May the 5th is the opening- so I need to get the last few paintings finished and then worry about things like mounting, framing, displaying options- oh and a flyer!

It will be held at the NEONCHOCOLATE gallery here in Berlin.

Oh how I’ve missed painting!

I’ve been finishing off my piece for the upcoming “Taboo”: Beinart Surrealist Collective group show ( July 7th – August 11th, 2012 ) at the Last Rites Gallery in New York. The title of my piece is ‘Release’:

 

Fishbone

The sky is brilliant this evening- it’s dusk and I am in the hospital looking out over this side of Berlin- it’s cold but brighter. The clouds are in two layers; the layer closest to us is a patchwork of fluffy cotton-balls, while the other layer is patterned like a fishbone and wraps this side of the earth as a blanket. The wind is howling, howling
and I am happy – I get to go home tomorrow.
