Deformed-Transformed

When I was a student I often would go for a weekend wander around the galleries of London. I have never studied art and sometimes felt unqualified to have an option, but really this is what makes art such a mysterious form of expression, you cannot confirm value upon any piece as it is the effect on the individual which deems its worth.

The exhibition below looks really interesting and I am going to try pop along in the next few weeks. It is described as so:

Hands deformed by rheumatoid arthritis depicted on vast canvases; mathematical equations transformed into spatial sculptures waiting to be inhabited by our imaginations: yet these impossibly gnarled hands belong to the sculptor himself. This is the astonishing truth behind the unique collaboration between emerging painter, Rebecca Ivatts, and veteran sculptor, John Pickering.

I am already thinking up cliches such as Beethoven going deaf; there is something mobidly fascinating about someones body making it a battle for them to continue with their greatest talent. This theme within the combination of sculpture and painting should also be very interesting.

If anyone else wishes to go, the exhibition is at SW1 Gallery, Victoria Street, London from September 16- Oct 3rd.
