Go Now

The Standard Bank Art Gallery never disappoints. I mean, sheesh, it is even open on a Monday. This exhibition is so beautiful and intelligent. I was alone in the gallery and it felt like mine alone. So just go on a Monday and thank me later. 

I have always loved this place because many years ago when I was an asshole teenager with a Dawson's Creek mentality my dad took me to see the Picasso and Africa exhibition, I drowned that day. It was too much. I'd never loved my eyes so much before. And so began my love affair with this place.

Feed your eyes, they're hungry too. 

Picasso!

'To draw, you must close your eyes and sing'. Pablo Picasso

Picasso! The King of Stripes!

Another reason to just love Pablo..

Pablo!

Picasso was baptized Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction

P.S. The first painting is my favourite painting, we had a print of it at home that I fell in love with.
