Hello. I went to the opening of a new exhibition last night at the 20 21 Arts Centre. The instillation is called Our Colour Reflection. The floor of the church is covered with coloured mirrors to reflect the lights installed in the ceiling. In fact there were two exhibitions in one. Gill Hobson is an artist who works with projected light, and the walls were bathed in glorious colours to complement the floor mirrors. Her web site has some wonderful works from her past exhibitions. Well worth a look.
Plenty to do today, so I'll say Toodle pip, have a good weekend, and we'll catch up soon.
I'm not sure I have an artistic bone in my body as I don't get this at all lol. I love the church though without the lights. I love wandering around cathedrals and churches so maybe I need to see it in the flesh.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it! The last piece of installation art I saw was all those tiny figures, like mini-people, by Anthony Gormley, when they were in the Spanish Barn, in Torre Abbey, Torquay. But this is much prettier! Love it! Thank you for photographing this for us all to see, Ilona.

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe other day when you posted the photo of the colors on the floor I did not realize they were mirrors. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that what looks like a gorgeous church is being used as an arts centre instead of sitting vacant like some churches.
Hello it is v pretty but where do the congregation pray? it must be a big church lol. Sorry to sound daft.
ReplyDeleteLoved all your photo's. What a great idea to use the church. Everything looks beautiful. Well done to both the artists. Looking forward to seeing your photo's when the added lights are removed, to see the difference and how they complement/ed each other.
ReplyDeleteThat is stunning.... many years ago when Tony and I were making stained glass items I bought him twelve different coloured sheets of mirror glass. It is still in the box as he thinks it is too beautiful ticut. I now want to just put them totally uncut on he wall and point some lights at them.
ReplyDeleteI like the juxtaposition of the bright colours with the calm cream of the church's stone pillars. Natalie
ReplyDeleteWow. Amazing. It is good to see art that makes you feel something. It makes the church look alive. It reminds me of when I would go to church as a child and the sun would shine through the stained glass windows. The colours fascinated me.
ReplyDeleteHow very beautiful, I love your photographs.
