Go deep into Freud, follow Gwen John home and watch Giacometti melt – the week in art

.. I remember when art exhibitions were all about the masters like Van Eyck 🤯 back in my day... it was a whole different world! Nowadays, it's all about those crazy provocative pieces that'll make you go "huh?" 🤔 like that Donald Trump painting I heard about 🎨. It's great to see art pushing boundaries, but sometimes I wish they'd stick to what they do best – creating something beautiful and meaningful.

And have you seen the exhibitions on Lucian Freud and Gwen John? They're like a trip down memory lane for me! 😊 The way they showcase their creative processes is so fascinating. I mean, who wouldn't want to see how Van Eyck created that stunning self-portrait 🖼️? It's amazing to think about all the history and artistry that went into creating something that timeless.

But what really gets me is how these exhibitions bring people together 🌎. Art has always been a universal language, and it's wonderful to see how it can unite us across cultures and time zones. Even though I'm a bit of a nostalgic, I love seeing new art and ideas being brought to the table 💡.
 
I'm so stoked 🤩 about these upcoming exhibitions! Like, I've always been fascinated by Lucian Freud's process, you know? The way he transforms his subjects from rough sketches to refined portraits is just mesmerizing 💡. And can we talk about Gwen John's style? It's like she tapped into the essence of nature and captured it in her art 🌿🎨. On the other hand, Lynda Benglis is a total game-changer when it comes to sculpture – I love how she subverts minimalism with her unique vibe 💥. As for Vincent Hawkins' paintings, they're like a breath of fresh air, capturing the beauty of the coast in all its glory 🌊🎨. Art education is also super important, and this show at the Royal Scottish Academy is giving me all the feels about Scotland's artistic history 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. And can we talk about the self-portrait by Jan van Eyck? It's like a masterpiece of Renaissance art, inviting us to reflect on identity and expression 🤯🎨. The art world is pushing boundaries as ever, and I am HERE for it! 💖
