Meeting recording and references ...
here is the recording https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c6R1E8M323df90bExXyR1p0iXiDJB0F_/view?usp=sharing things that came uo in conversation: Galleries to see new and art for inspiration: Sadie Coles HQ Victoria Miro Approach Emes Fine Art Beers London Hauser and Wirth Cristea Roberts Gallery Flowers Gallery Artist: Gary Hume. Perusing these galleries, I just discovered an artist whom I have seen a few images of pieces in the past but didn't know well - Swiss-born artist Ugo Rondinone. I love his work and the way he speaks about it - very matter-of-fact in terms of what his work means or symbolises - he makes works that are meditations on human nature or human situations. Very interesting... for me .. I think. :)

In many ways Rondinone remainds me of an other artist i love : Mimmo Paladino is an Italian sculptor, painter and printmaker. Worth checking him out also.
Thanks for the video link. Always useful to have these when a meeting is missed. My apologies for missing last week's!
