London: Summer in the City – The Hottest Shows
What’s hot this summer in London’s culture and theatre scene. A dozen of the very hottest shows.
The Procession: An Epic Journey @ Tate Britain
“Wow” was my first reaction when I accidentally stumbled upon “The Procession” at the Tate Britain. This visual extravaganza is a real showstopper with its colourful characters, dioramas and a deep dive into black history. I’d actually come to see an entirely different exhibition but this carousel of […]
Photo London 2022 – Hot Shots
Photo London 2022 is a full-on visual assault on the senses which will thrill, entertain and make you think about the world we live in. This annual photography fair is an unmissable event in my cultural calendar. The fair brings together some of the very best photographers in […]
Surreal Places: Cramlington’s Giant Spoon
A giant ‘silver’ spoon sticking out of the ground isn’t something you stumble upon every day on a quiet country walk. But there it was standing right in front of me – a dessert spoon 18 feet tall, glittering in the spring sunshine. What was even more surprising […]
Mallorca: Palma Adventures
I love Spain but the Balearic Islands have never featured in my holiday ‘top 10’ wish list. Friends have tried to convince me that Mallorca is a great destination, extolling the virtues of its beautiful coastal scenery and pretty villages. But I wasn’t to be swayed. Perhaps it […]
Munch: Love and Angst @ The British Museum
The British Museum’s major exhibition featuring the work of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch is nothing less than sensational. It’s arguably London’s best art show of the year. Edvard Munch: Love and Angst focuses on Munch’s prints which have an incredible raw power and immediacy. It’s the largest exhibition […]
Photo London 2018 – Photographic Art
There’s nothing making quite as big a visual splash this spring as the massive Photo London 2018 show at Somerset House. This annual photography art and trade show showcases the best of the past, present and the future of international photography. Now in its fourth year, it has […]
The Genius of Gursky’s Photography – London Hayward Gallery
Looking at the world through different eyes is something that German photographer Andreas Gursky excels at. His hyper-realistic views of global landscapes and landmarks propel photography onto a higher plane. Whether it’s a swathe of solar panels in a French village or the vast trading floor of the […]
The Shock of the New: The Peggy Guggenheim Collection – Venice
Venice is one of the world’s great art cities. It’s best known for its glorious Renaissance treasures rather than its modern art galleries. The city’s museums and churches are stuffed with grand masters like Tintoretto, Titian and Bellini… whilst the Grand Canal conjures up images by Canaletto. But […]
Venice Biennale 2017
The Venice Biennale is the show of a lifetime with its wild and wonderful exhibitions scattered across Europe’s most beautiful city of art. I’ve dreamed of making a trip to the Biennale for 20 years. When I found myself at the ‘heart of the art’ earlier this month, […]
