Art: KwangHo Shin

I like art- don't ge me wrong, but I rarely see a piece which makes me stop and really look at it.   The artist KwangHo Shin did make me stop, look and think. His work is the kind that makes me try and suss out the steps they took to create the art, but also what message they are trying to convey.

 I haven't been able to find out much about KwangHo apart from the fact that his work has featured in the Saatchi gallery; I guess that means he is big bollocks now?  Anyway here is a collection of his work of faceless people.

Although these pieces are absolutely beautiful and so striking to look at (in my opinion),   I can't quite decided whether I would hang one in my home (if I had one). There is something quite sinister about rubbing someone's face out.

Style File: Teddy in London

You may have met Teddy before, here.  Teddy is my old university friend. He is also incredibly stylish.  I caught up with Teddy in London last week, which was such a treat.  We did the cultured posh-totty thing we always talked about doing when we were in Leeds- visited the Saatchi gallery in Chelsea, Duke of York Square.   This is the same gallery I saw the Chanel Little Black Jacket exhibition.  The Saatchi gallery is fantastic; it's free, it's quirky and it's in a really nice part of London. 

Teddy adhere's to a quintessentilly British style: the Barbour-esque jacket, the tartan scarf, the Raybans and quirky old vintage shoes.
