Inspiring women in art and architecture

Only a few days left to see this incredible exhibition. I love how these timeless women look like someone you'd like to hang out with. Refreshing to see paintings of strong, inspiring women in an appealing painterly style.


Meanwhile I went to visit the new Serpentine gallery on saturday with the unmistakable Zaha Hadid extension. I loved the smell and sound of the loose brickfloor with freshly finished interior. In the cafe the brand new tea pots were melting and sticking to the brand new table tops as the sun poured through the new glass surrounds. It looks beautiful and is amazing that this is her first permanent building in London. While in the queue I hear two people talking about how 'people here just dont apreciate her'. Is it because her designs arent fallic glass and steel structures that compete to be the tallest?
