The Saatchi Gallery

from Katie Richardson | Comment (4) | Jan 5, 2010 Katie Richardson



Hello!
I recently visited the Saatchi gallery for the first time. I would not describe myself as an very experienced or educated art critic but I am slowly learning, since moving to London. Having visited the main galleries in Trafalgar sq this gallery was recommended by a colleague and did not dissapoint. I loved the abstract constructions and symmetrical American art work on the top floor and would definently visit again due to the free and exciting feel of the gallery.

I took a pick and mix sweet selection and spent a couple of hours perusing the artwork, I left feeling eduatced and inspired and would definently recommend a visit.

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"
