Damien Hirst at Tate Modern

Damien Hirst's exhibition at London's Tate Modern is one of the most powerful things in art I have ever seen. Hirst built his career up on controversy. However there is also beauty and strong conceptual thinking behind his work. The exposition is open till September 9th 2012. It is a combination of absolutely fascinating images and repulsive objects. Life and death. Fragility vs violence. Delicacy contra blood.

 

I can not say I loved everything, but it was definitely an experience. I found the living butterflies display the most captivating part of the exhibition. You actually walk into a room and these amazing little creatures fly around you! You do not want to upset the guards by touching the living part of the exhibition. But if the butterfly chooses you and lands on your jacket, enjoy the feeling! You are special!

3000 Camera-Flowers

This impressive field of tiny turquoise forget-me-not cameras has been created by Andre Feliciano - Brazilian artist recently comissioned by the United Photo Industries. His first installation presented to the American art lovers features over 3000 minature camera-flowers emerging from among leaves of grass. Andre has become familiar to the world's audience only just recently, but his Brazilian career path has been long and breath-taking. He had his exhibitions at Sao Paulo Museum of Modern Art (MAM), the Tomie Ohtake Institute and Sao Paulo’s Geothe Institute. Personally I find him one of the greatest modern art talents who may become as big as Christo and Jeanne-Claude or Yayoi Kusama if he keeps his mind and projects fresh. Good luck, Andre! See you at Tate Modern!
