On my journey around Chelsea was something I never thought about doing, which is weird because I work around the majority of the galleries that I went it to see. My favorite gallery that I went to see had to be Gilbert & George. There gallery was extremely and had me captivated as soon as I entered their world of art. I was like each photo told a many different topics like muggers, toddlers, addicts, young girls and many different other topics. I was so drawn into their type of artwork because I learned that each topic was actually a news headline at one point. And reading all of the different frames of work brought many different emotions to me. And I love being able to connect to a work that gives me a sense of emotion.
The art gallery that I did not like or find interest in had to Anish Kaporr. Kapoor's work was of freestanding concrete sculptures. They had a unique form of texture but had no affect on me when I looked at it. It was like looking at a blank piece of paper for me. No emotion was created inside me when I looked at it. It was a different type of artwork that everyone should see at one point in their life because it is not a piece of art that you would see everyday, but for my own personal taste it just wasn't for me.
Art is something that we come across everyday. I learned that when I went to visit different galleries at Chelsea. Someone can make unique artwork using gallons of cement. Or take old news articles and make a collage of the topic to make art. The Chelsea galleries is something I would love to go and continue to visit. And since I literally work across the high from many of them I think it is something that I will take up as a hobby and bring some co-workers to along to experience visiting a gallery that we pass by everyday going to work.
