The Dark side of Food Photography. Silvia Badalotti's striking compositions are are a little disturbing and intense to look at but the light, background and contrasts makes them mesmerizing. Taken from the forthcoming Black Food Book, cannot wait to see the rest of these images.

List of Exhibitors PAD London 2012

Its arriving next week, the Fairs of all Fairs! Pavillion of Art & Design London Edition.  For me is the most elegant and beautiful of them all. All my favourite galleries under one roof, with impeccably curated stands. I go several times during the week even if its not large to take it all in and eye pieces that I can dream of owning one day, or just feel good after seeing such beauty.

If you have never been go and if you have go again.

Leonardo da Vinci

"Leonardo da Vinci :Painter of the Court of Milan is the most comlete display of rare surviving paintings ever held. This unprecedented exhibition, the first of its kind anywhere in the world, brings together sensational loans never seen before in the UK"

                                                                                                        The National Gallery

I am so excited to see this show, London Culture at its best. GO NOW, but make sure you buy tickets in advance they are giving time slots, I presume so it does not get overcrowded. The website explains everything so prepare before you go.

Enjoy!
