Today me and my flatmate Nat went to see the current exhibition at the Bristol Museum called 'Art from the new world-a big brash exhibition of the new American Art Scene'. Living up to it's title it is a collection of brash, gothic, bright, intoxicating pieces. The works are unified by a common surrealist quality and abuse of colour. I personally wasn't completely convinced by the exhibition. A lot of the works had a very graffiti artist feel to them and if that's your field then I would def check it out! Pieces I did enjoy were 'Buff Monsters' mural as you enter the gallery and a chandelier that hung from the ceiling made up of octopuses arms and shells called 'Miss Fede' by the artist Adam Wallacavage.
A bright fun exhibition that is definitely worth a look if you are a colour enthusiast.
