I am an artist by trade & education, and am an avid connoisseur of art and craft, especially weaving and handcrafted works.  When I found the Modern Twist exhibition right down the street from where I am living, it was a no brainer, and did not disappoint.

Dali’s first selfie! 😉

 

The Dali Museum is a museum dedicated to the works of famous Surrealist artist Salvador Dali.  I had visited this museum once before as a teenager, and still nothing compares to seeing them in person…the scale of some of the paintings is lost when viewing online or in books.

Yesterday evening we met our friend Paul McAllister at Origin.  It is London Design Week, and many shows that I’ve seen this week were highlighting craft, which is refreshing since usually craft and design are seen as separate entities.

Here are a few of my favorites from the show:

Anthony Theakston

Gary Allson

John Alfredo Harris

Momoko Kumai

Pacha Design

Paul McAllister

Soungcheul Park
