‘The Rococo Riots’, John Walter @Vitrine
24.04.2013
Yesterday artist David Paredes and I, went to the opening of ‘The Rococo Riots’, a solo show by our friend John Walter.
The opening was fun, good vibes for a good evening out. I always enjoy Vitrine‘s exhibitions especially the friendly attendees and the nice atmosphere. Alys Williams, the director is very welcoming, this is unfortunately a rare things nowadays in the Arts.
I was on my own looking at a painting when a photographer approached me, so we started to discuss about the painting before our eyes and ended up to speak about his war reportages. That is what I love about openings and art events.
John’s work is captivating and at times outrageous. I admire the way his paintings stand up proudly in front of the public. ‘The Rococo Riots’ is an exhibition of new paintings encapsulating the ornate, bold and iconoclastic vision of his maximalist aesthetic.
Here is my favourite piece.
I totally recommend to see this show!
