I first went to Rome on a school trip and loved it instantly. Just back from a fleeting but busy and pizza fuelled trip - the infatuation has bloomed

Lartigue in Colour
Florette, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, 1954
Florette and Picasso, Vallauris, 1955
Taken from the beautiful and inspiring book A Life in Colour by Lartigue. Florette was Lartigue's wife of 41 years, and 27 years younger than the photographer. Breathlessly beautiful throughout.

Cherry Blossom
Cherry Blossom in a Glass, 1932
Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin
Taken from Revolution: Russian Art 1917-1932, a brilliant (if horribly overcrowded) exhibition at the Royal Academy. So much to see, and in my case, learn. Petrov-Vodkin's ancestors were bandits, and according to local legend his surname derives from homemade vodka produced by his grandmother... what's not to love?

Frank's print shows all the ingredients needed for an Italian dinner, with seafood to complete the meal. Great show of Frank's work at the Fashion and Textile Museum in Bermondsey

Beautiful and immersive projections by Japanese collective teamLab at Pace Gallery, London recently. Entry is timed and each group granted access is designated 20 minutes only - it's worth it for a burst of uplifting colour and movement.

So much embellishment around for SS17! Had a great time at a few press days earlier this week - particularly loved the crazy plethora of embellishment on the Charles Jeffrey boxer shorts (above).

Grotto
I always enjoy making the journey to Hauser + Wirth, Saville Row and peering in at tailor's workshops below street level.
Mike Kelley takes up two rooms at the gallery at the moment with 'Framed and Frame', aiming to explore the place between reality and the imagined.
Detail from Chinatown Wishing Well
Mike Kelley, 1999
Interested in Middle America's 'diverse and alternative subcultures', Kelley presents two installations that look at Los Angeles' marginalised Chinese-American community. Honestly, it's pretty weird. The grotto-like piece (above) consists of spray painted concrete with religious paraphernalia stuck and frozen on to its facade. It has a small cave underneath it, where a tatty looking mattress is hidden - it all feels a bit dark.
Detail from Chinatown Wishing Well
In some ways I was surprised it left me feeling a bit cold - aesthetically it ticks lots of boxes: the candy coloured spritz' of colour, the gaudy religious trophies - both things I really like. It reminded me of the drug fuelled hippie days described by Eileen Myles in her autobiography 'Chelsea Girls' which I've just finished. (NB: not for the faint hearted).
It also sort of reminded me (in a good way) of Koons piece, 'Play Doh' which you can catch at Newport Street Gallery now.
Play Doh
Jeff Koons, 1999 - 2014
3 Americans working at the same time, there's probably something in that (insert emoticon with rolling eyes here).
