Notes

Hello, my name is Susie Whiteside and I've just been to the Hannah's Art Gallery in London, where a new art show called perspectives is attracting a great deal of attention. As the curator of this exhibition of drawings paintings and sculptures by both established and young up and coming artists told me it's all about points of view. The works on display range from gritty urban scenes, like housing estate by a young glaswegian artist, Kim Kelly. The more lighthearted like The Marvelous Penthouse, by Frances Morse.

In the first room, there's a series of sculptures by Ryan G Jones which are startlingly life, like the one of an astronaut is amazing and the eagle one left me, totally speechless. I found all his work pretty stunning and loved the polar bear. Then, there are Flora mcclellan's paintings. All of ours, is a flowers or bowls of fruit. There's one in particular, of some peaches in a blue Bowl, which you really mustn't miss. You just want to reach out and help yourself to one. However, her most, well composed, images of a bowl of grapes. Amateur painters like myself can only gays in admiration and I must admit to feeling a great deal of Envy for her Talent too.

The drawings in the third room are by various different artists. I grew up by the seaside and loved ones of sheer cliffs and pristine beaches. I found the ones of sand dunes very evocative of that time. And the series of Cliff Faces by Rowley more rather bleak. Then there are the wooden sculptures by Mona Drew. Her view of the world can best be described as gleeful. Though her groups of children are less This time, in my opinion. However, her athletes reflect her characteristic spirit and I enjoyed everything of hers in this part of the gallery.


The central room which is the largest contains some vast paintings. There's one of Battersea Power Station in London and an impressive skyscraper which made me feel absolutely tiny as I looked up at it. Another example of perspective, the next room is a complete contrast. With family scenes set in a variety of homes. There's a painting of some people in a mansion. Their evident closeness is heartwarming. In contrast, there's one of a small group in a country cabin and you really can feel the emotional distance between the people in that tiny room.

The art in the following room is more controversial. Some critics have praised glueck bill for his Innovative approach. And that is just say it's over the top. Many of them described a sculpture of his called Third Time Lucky as tasteless. Though, many others say the one, he's called magic spell is the most graceful work of art they've ever seen. In the following room, Harry Jones, never known for holding himself back, has contributed some abstract paintings on the theme of movement. in one which is called winter everything seems to drift and crawl. And in the one next to it called Summer everything appears to soar and plunge. I spent ages in front of both of those.

The final room as paintings and sculptures by a collective of young artists who work together to produce some very thoughtful and moving work. My favorites were necessity, a beautiful piece on the subject of prosperity and dedication, which was all about hardship. I'll conclude by saying that this is one of the most interesting and exciting exhibitions. I've been to this year. Make sure you go and see it for yourself.
