Here are some more details about the other artists I saw on my trip to London. Started at the British Museum to see 'Renaissance to Goya: prints and drawings from Spain'. Very interesting - not an area I had studied before.

Then to the Rook and Raven gallery to see James Mylne 'Vintage Vogue'. He produces remarkably detailed and subtle photo realistic drawings using a biro, with a coloured background created with spray paint. http://www.jamesmylne.co.uk/

Next the Photographers Gallery, luckily it was a sunny morning so I managed to see the camera obscura in operation.

The Blain Southern had an exhibition of Tim Noble and Sue Webster. Very impressive to see in real life - the gallery was very big so I could walk round each sculpture and get the full impression of how each image was built up.  http://www.timnobleandsuewebster.com/

Then on to see Kate Atkin's exhibition at the Trinity Contemporary. This is a very interesting gallery as it specialises in contemporary drawing. The exhibition that I went to in Salisbury last year was organised by them. Quite a few of Atkin's new works were created by cutting shapes out of plywood, applying a coat of gesso and then drawing. Several of the pieces achieved a strikingly 3-D effect. The marks she makes on paper are only properly visible when the actual works are viewed.

Saw the image on the left, but gallery closed and haven't managed to discover the artist yet - the exhibition was contemporay Swedish art. Also passed work by Mr Brainwash - see picture on right. Another possible essay subject.

Finally to Edel Assanti gallery to see Gordon Cheung's latest exhibition and choose a piece for my essay as previously reported.
