Last night was the opening of Art Interiors 15th anniversary show which had the fun concept of letting 15 folks, me included, pop in and pick out a piece that they loved. Art Interiors is a very modern style of gallery - an un-fusty, relaxed and very un-intimidating place to visit that is usually stacked to the rafters with artwork large and small. You can even register here (I'd rather get art as a gift than a set of pots and pans any day). Looking around at the gallery walls the results couldn't have been more diverse, but the most interesting thing for me was reading each and every quote that gave the reasons why the piece was chosen. Art makes such a personal statement and is an integral part of any interior - 'the cherry on the cake' as one person said - so seeing what Suzanne Dimma, Samantha Pynn and Brian Gluckstein might actually hang on their walls is very cool indeed.
The show runs from September 26th to October 7th - Have a look below at the photography piece I picked, by artist Alex Taves; I was drawn to the dreamy blurry colours and the way it brought back childhood memories of travelling abroad (and that's just how everything looks once my specs are off).
