Halcyon Gallery - Dale Chihuly "Lumiere"
Before the start of the new term, i had arrived to London early, sending time with the family before sending my little brother off to school in North Yorkshire.
We came across the Halcyon Gallery in the evening and the interior was glowing, you could see the illumines-sense from the outside
This immediate turned our heads as it caught out attention
Inside was an exhibition exhibiting Dale Chihuly, who in this series of work made Acrylic Light Drawings!
Lumiere is the first exhibition of Dale Chihuly's Acrylic light drawings.
This style of his has been developing throughout his carer. "Beginning as illustrative tools used to direct and inspire his visions for glass - his drawings have become increasingly important as independent outlets for his expressions, whilst simultaneously providing a vital means for him to release his energy"
His work is very expressive and abstract
From the light, you could see almost completely through the acrylic paint, which gives the audience a visual texture. Like there a more mark makings within the marks itself!! Brilliant concept
"Somebody once said people become artist because they have a certain kind of energy to release. That rings true to me. it must have an outlet. Thats why i draw" - Dale Chihuly
Chihuly's Work has no direct link to my work
Yes it is colourful but the is somewhat different. Mark makings are in few aspects similar.
It is however very interesting to see this kind of concept. this new innovative idea being processed and seen. Very interesting
Not only paintings but sculptures too.
They make wonderful interior designs and possibly an iconic feature
The overall curation of the place was impressive.
I enjoyed this show very much.
