Trip. Tate Gallery 6

Inside the Tate Britain London Gallery,
since it is an art gallery, generally most things are nice.

Including the interior. Colour, forms, etc.

(maybe they think it is an educational place
and that many students will visit...
the soft colourful decoration was used. )
Though it may not be everyone's cup of tea. 


Large paintings on walls. Just to share the view.
This room, the wall is red.
There was a group listening to someone talking about a painting.

Same piece of sculpture;
view from the other side.
Modern work.

metal work in garden gates






Even the gate outside
has interesting metal work. 

 


Time to catch the coach back. Nice day out!

Trip. Tate Gallery part 1

Eventually I visited the Tate Gallery in March.
It was a nice day. Spent just under 4 hours there. 

Nice building, nice paintings, nice sculptures.



First of all, I went to have something to eat.


Then I started my journey...

 (one of the maps)
(part of "what's on today")


One the wall facing cloak room, interesting themes/topics/relationship of art & society/people.
wall and themes



Doorways throught the rooms.










man wrestling snake










It might have been
a fable or story.
But it seems to me
more like
telling men
to battle/fight their
own monster.

 close up...


A good proportion of art works bear biblical theme/Christian topics.

Britain has a Christian heritage. May the God's teachings flourish again in the hearts of all people in Britain ASAP!

a painting & a sculpture

 sculpture...
with music instrument.
Actually
there was an old gentleman
 trying to do
a drawing/painting with it
on the spot.



















 it is a little like time travel ...
looking back...
through the eyes
of the painters/artists.


Where was I in the time tunnel?
(years/era on the floor)







Clarification:
 I didn't go
to Tate Britain Gallery 
for the David Hockney exhibition. 


Modern art
is not really my cup of tea
(with a few exceptions)
Not the Tate Modern either.
