Storm out at Sea

Form Through Colour

Somerset House is one of the best places in London to while away a spare hour or so - particularly the terrace on a sunny day. Form Through Colour is a free exhibition currently showing the work of Gary Hume, Anni and Josef Albers

Loved these rugs hung on the walls by Gary Hume

There were a few of Josef Alber's beautiful Homage to The Square series 

 

And Anni's geometrical tessellating textile patterns

 

A riot of colour to inspire

On until the 31st August

Close and Far, Calvert 22

I made the trip to Calvert 22 gallery last weekend to see an exhibition of Russian photography. The show aims to examine Russia's evolution over the past 100 years by comparing the way various Russian photographers have approached their subject.

Pastoral, 2008-12
Alexander Gronsky

Anna Alexeevna, 2010

Olya Ivanova

The stand out work for me was that of Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky, who sounds like he had a pretty great time taking pictures of the length and breadth of the Russian empire after being commissioned by the last Tsar, Nicholas II, to do so.

Dinner During Hay Making, 1909

Peasant Girls, 1909

 Prokudin-Gorsky was a pioneer of colour photography. After inventing his own means of developing film, he did so while on the move in a specially equipped rail road coach complete with darkroom. Travelling far and wide, the pictures that emerged from this mobile darkroom show a multi-faceted Russia and are fascinating to look at.

Group of Harvesters, 1905-15

The exhibition is free and on until 17th August, see it if you can.
