In order to restore some order to life, the universe and this blog, I am backtracking to when it all became overwhelming which would be mid-October and yes — ha! — it’s getting on the last part of November, but maybe this week I can endeavour to catch up a little. I do mostly write…

Leonor Fini @ Nagas
Leonor Fini: Small Faces is at Nagas Gallery through May 24th and it’s a great opportunity to see some of Fini’s delicate work up close in an intimate environment. It is important to know that the gallery is on the second floor facing the street and you need to buzz the (at the time) unmarked…

Episode Two is now live! EPISODE TWO Original Audio 25 Aug 21 Episode Two: Surreal portraiture—-Muse or artist? Can you fall in love with a picture? Can you fall in love with someone from a picture?

Leonor Fini at the Kasmin Gallery
Fabulous jaunt to the city with art partner in crime, Stephanie, to see the Fini works at the Kasmin Gallery and enjoy a nice long chat over a fab lunch at the Mermaid Café and a little Chelsea thrifting. Here’s the list of all the works on display. It was verrrrrry cold so not a…
Visiting Leornora’s House
Catching up on my viewing as it seems to be one of the few things my exhausted brains can comprehend. Art — especially art by my trimulierate Carrington, Varo & Fini — is sustaining me when I am running on fumes and finally admitting to that fact. I am doing better about not taking on…
Surrealism, Tarot & Leonora
I am woefully behind on everything and making so little progress. What better time to watch some of the videos from the Biennale! This one of course I was very much anticipating. I know I have shared talks with Susan Aberth and Tere Arcq many times and they have spoken about Leonora and YET, there…

Chillers, Thrillers & Killers
I’m over at the Cultural Gutter, home of writing about disreputable art, where I sally forth to introduce the Chillers series, a French-UK co-production that manages to mangle a lot of Patricia Highsmith short stories. Check it here. If you missed my chat with Zoë Howe, the Rock-n-Roll Witch, you can listen to it on…
Dora Maar @ Tate Modern
Although my main goal for the flying visit to London in January was Blake, there were plenty of things to be seen. And going from Tate to Tate is always a good excuse to hop on a boat. It’s more expensive than taking the tube or busses, but you can’t beat the view. I was…
