Went with Friends of the National Gallery to the Bell-Roberst Gallery at Lourensford yesterday, to see/meet Robert Hodgins and his ceramics! And what a really nice experience. I think Robert Hodgins is a very interesting character with a life and a half's experience. He recently broke his hip, so it was a very informal chat, him sitting on the couch and answering questions. I must say I prefer his paintings to his ceramics, but I truly enjoyed the outing, as I also got him to autograph the book I have bought on this works previously. So if you feel like a bit of an outing for the day - go off the Somerset-West and enjoy. (Lourensford is also where "Known gods" the M-Net series was filmed and with the clouds and the rain - I almost felt as though I was part of the "movie" - very cool!)
This is my favourite one that was on exhibition.
This was was also cool - "Head in the Clouds".
"Girl"
Well, the weekend had two great events, the one was meeting Robert Hodgins and the other one was attending Jezze's book launch and acquiring one of the books! I think the boook acts as a really beautifull catalogue (which I also got autographed!). I spent Saturday morning pouring over the book and then lent it too my mom to read. So after that we HAD to buy the two prints illustrating what happens to you when you are eat while lying down... you grow HORNS! That what my gran told my mom and that's what my mom told me! My mom said she always scanned her scalp to feel where the horns were growing! = ) So nou ja... Get the book if you can http://jezzeblog.blogspot.com/- but even better still get a limited print or original! Congratulations Jezze!
