“Private Nightmares” an exhibition by Nazir Tanbouli

living sculpture

As much as I am a huge fan of sculptor Antony Gormley, I am not too sure about this latest scheme

but Iam really excited about Yinka Shonibare’s sculpture which I was hoping would win.

In any case these are two of the greatest living British artists - though usually in the news we only hear about the boring and less talented ones like Damien Hirst or Tracey Emin (yawn)

First day of summer…
