the stars shine all day too



(Image pinched from this website)


Just to get across just how astonishing Rob Ryan's 'The Stars Shine All Day Too' exhibition was last week, I thought I'd sneak in this beautiful image.  The little gallery space on Dover Street in London's Piccadilly played host to several of Rob's large scale paper-cuts.  Each one contained a crazy amount of detail and an enchanting night-time wintery feel.  This one was by far my favourite (although I changed my mind several times before reaching this conclusion).


Thank goodness for the internet.  I spend so much of my time in galleries trying to commit every detail to memory for fear that I will forget something.

It looks like there are a couple of nice exhibits in Bristol next week, so I'll let you know how I get on with those!  If that wasn't already enough to entice me, I'm going to see a giant pin-hole camera in a tower!

  1. yeah that was my fave too, tied with the one of the couple standing on a hill, it wasnt as visually as good at this but the words on the hill were lovely : ) xx

  2. Yes, that one was nice too! I really like the one with all the hills in it too...he had a really interesting way of illustrating them...but mostly I love his rooftops!! xxx
