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.
