Weds 9th Sept: Free art in Covent Garden

French artist Charles Pétillon 's first public art installation "HeartBeat" is 100,000 giant white balloons filling the length of the ceiling in the 19th Century Covent Garden Market Building.  Light inside the structure pulsates glowing bright and dull replicating the beat of a heart but a massive cloud cluster of balloons.  Its free to view until the end of month which I doubled up with a visit to see the "Deloitte Ignite 15" light show projection on the Royal Opera House in the main square.  Rainbows and clouds in one night - my dream.

Monday 7th Sept: Anna Lomax "Luxury Goods" at KKOutlet

For the Fashion Week and Design Week month of September, Anna Lomax has a solo show at KKOutlet which opened to coincide with "First Thursday" last week.  Entitled "Luxury Goods" it's a combination of all of her favourite influences and collections from pound shops, kitsch conspicuous consumption and the love of her hometown London.  The narrative that ties the mixed media work is a visual commentary on the meaning of "Luxury" and genuine fakes which carries thru to the Sportsbanger merch in her curated gift shop. The pieces comprise of sculpture, neon light, lenticular hologram, screen print, photography, embroidered textiles and jewellery with her classic £1 coin sovereign ring.  Even the drinks at the party were a work of art in themselves as each vessel was a carved mini water-melon.  I didn't know that such a cute fruit existed so with the addition of a novelty hand-carved emblem, it was the best cocktail I've ever held............ and couldn't put down.............. grasping onto the last taste of Carnival

Check out Anna's show on at KKOutlet, Hoxton Square til 26th September and pick up one of her beautiful prints.
