A couple of great art installations in The Toon

It would be fair to say we are not massive fans of installation art in the Adessi design team but we saw a couple of fantastic shows this weekend.

The first was in The University Gallery where there was a load of small flag like gizmos pinned into the floor and when you walked past the movement you create moved the small flags (simple things, simple minds I hear you say) it is definitely worth a view.

The second was in The Baltic and it by Jenny Holzer and that is also definitely worth a look.

Amsterdam Google search

While doing a bit of a Google search for Dutch landscape paintings on the internet the other day we discovered some fantastic artwork and design.

We just loved the image of this building with all its shades of green, it reminded us of a patchwork of fields you would see while gazing out the window of an airplane.

We also really liked this portrait, we have no idea who it is by or who it is but it's one of the best portraits we have seen for a long time (we all agreed we liked the bit that has not been painted yet!!!)

Finally we came across these great little illustrations/designs that we thought were very nice indeed.

I think i trip to Amsterdam is defo on the cards!
