Painter/ Tap Dancer

Bob and I met at Oxford Circus and walked to Selfridges to see Brian Eno's Luminous exhibit this afternoon. A computer randomly selects several of Eno's 300 paintings and overlaps them to create unique works that change over time; there are apparently 77 million possible combinations that can result. With Eno's music playing alongside his paintings, it's quite easy to spend too long in the darkened lounge, safely removed from the Selfridges shopping frenzy just steps away. Here's a mere sampling of the 77 million:






From Selfridges, we headed to the Timothy Taylor gallery for a look at their exhibit of early Andy Warhol. It was nice stuff--very different from all the pop art for which he became famous. The gallery was set up beautifully, and my favourite Warhol quote can be seen at the top of the pink wall in this photo:
We made a quick stop at another nearby gallery, easily with the oddest gallery name I've ever heard, named for the street on which it's situated. Their Simon Patterson exhibit was great and the gallery's interior is gorgeous; Bob remarked that it would make a great house for us, if we were ka-zillion-aires!
