Relentlessly fragile, effortlessly Black

Although I was very tired after an overnight trans-Atlantic flight, my visit this afternoon to Modern Art was really worth it.  They are showing Karla Black's latest works.  Predominantly made from loosely painted cellophane and dusted polythene, Black's sculptures are as fragile as always, effortlessly making their presence in the otherwise empty gallery space.

Patchwork London: bold McGee vs subtle Feehily

It was my first day in London yesterday.  Instead of visiting the major art institutions, I decided to go hopping some independent galleries first.  I did see some good shows: White Cube Mason's Yard, Haunch of Venison, Pilar Corrias and Modern Art in central London, and White Cube Hoxton Square and Hoxton Art Gallery in east London.

Modern Art shows the new works by two very different artists - Barry McGee and Fergus Feehily.  McGee's works are an explosion of bold colours with tesselations of geometric patterns.  They are full of life and energy.  Feehily's works, on the other hand, are more subtle and of a smaller scale.  He pays a lot of attention to the materials he's using, which are sometimes found and sometimes made.
