Now that I'm living back in South-East London I've been trying to do a few of the things that the local area has to offer. Goldsmiths College is just down the road so yesterday me and the girlfriend went to have a look round the masters fine art show.

Fistly, the spaces that Goldsmiths were using for the show are amazing. The Ben Pimlott building was purpose built for these kinds of shows and the view from the sixth floor was one of the most impressive of London I have seen. From the Dome through the City, St Pauls, the London Eye and the West-End as far west as Battersea Power Station, it was all visible! Also being used were the converted Laurie Grove Baths, formerly a swimming pool now being being used as studios by Goldsmiths that retained lots of its original features.

I should probably mention that fine art isn't normally my thing, not enough structure for the graphic designer in me, but some of the work on display here really impressed me. Above I've featured work from (top) Yun Kyung Jeong, Untilted, and amazingly beatiful and intricate illustration which looks good here, but was spectacular in the flesh.

Olivia Reynolds, Oh Albert, My Love (middle), Had created a piece inspired on the Albert Memorial (of which I am a fan) by carving into plywood and using varnish, stained glass, old silk, persian carpets, gold buttons... (the list goes on) to create four huge, magnificent collages (I guess) to represent each of the four continents featured on the original memorial.

The final piece, Penetralia, by Jang-Oh Hong is a series of national flags hanging from the ceiling created on clear plastic with metallic thread used to create the markings and stripes etc. of the national flags.

I'm not going to get in to what I thought the motivations of the artisits were or what I thought each piece represented, because I'll probably be very far wide of the mark It's better to make your own minds up.
