Finally! My first art gallery~~

Just came back from Tate. They open till 10pm every first Friday of the month, AND they give half price tickets for the ongoing exhibitions. This month's was the artworks of Francis Bacon. The normal student price was 10.40 quid, but for today only, we got in for 5.20q. Not bad huh?

Hmm... How should I describe Francis Bacon's art? It was definitely odd, gross, nightmarish, powerful, depressing(maybe)... Loads of screaming and gaping mouths, as if they were in terrible agony. Distorted human depiction ( Male nudity in particular)... Dark and sombre colors... Here are a few of his works I got off the net:

I think you can now imagine the entire atmosphere and mood of the exhibition.

After the exhibition, we spent an hour or so at the galleries which were free of charge. I certainly enjoyed the paintings there... There was a particular painting of a family on the hills, dancing in the sunset. It took my breath away.... I was totally mesmerized by the colours of the sky, all the red, yellow, and orange hues~~ I hope one day, I will be able to witness a sunset like that.

Don't ask me, I have no idea why its there. Looks like a mouse's skeleton sitting behind a gold machine gun. Randomness....
