Barry Lewis Art Exhibition

All credit must go to this man for all of the following works of art that I simply took pictures of.

Today was a wanderful day in weather and company. So the addition of an art exhibition only made things more enjoyable. Further, the exhibition was free and my step mum happened to know the artist which bought all the peices to life that little bit more as he talked us though some of the more spectacular and perculiar pieces.

Thankfully he was not only happy for me to take pictures of the gallery but also allowed my dad to place my baby brother on some of the larger sculptures!

So see if you can spot:  Lion(metal) : Corcosaurus : Dragonfly : Cheeky Monkey : Pegasus : Lobster : Girraffe : Crane Fly : Scorpion : Tarantula : Grass hopper : Boxing Rabbits : Saxaphone Bot : Seahorse : Dragon : Centipede : Jughead : Bird : Fishamajig : Hermit Crab : Aslan (stone): Owl


These are just a select few, there were several more that I dont have the memory or the time to name, but on the plus side, if you happen to be in bristol between now and the 27th of Feb 2010 then you can go see it yourself at the Grant Bradley gallery in Bedminster (very near ASDA) 


Things I liked the most about this exhibit:
 - The eco friendly ethos behind it all
 - The intricacy of all of the peices (especially the fish knives)
- The friendly chap who made them all
- The ingineuity and self restraint to make all of the peices from recycled scap.

Thats all for now. Enjoy !
