clouds + mountains + waterfalls

We are so so lucky to be living in a city where art and creativity is at our finger tips. I believe to express yourself through art is a gift, I connect with so many people through visuals and creativity before even meeting them in person.
Gurpreet isn’t a self confessed art buff, but thats why I enjoy his company, his outlook on many things in life is much more thought out and logical then mine; he always has an alternative view on things and this is why we click so well.
Luckily we managed to make a trip to Sadie Coles HQ to see the amazing clouds + mountains + waterfalls exhibition by Ugo Rondinone.
Maybe its psychological but just seeing a room filled with vibrant colours felt extremely uplifting. It was a beautiful expressive collection of sculptures and painting depicting the clouds, mountains and waterfalls.
Even though I focus on fashion 80% of the time, different art forms play a huge part in my design process especially when conducting the initial research for a project.
It’s like breath of fresh air to look at other creative fields when working on your own.
We will be making a trip to the Tate Modern soon, I am so excited to see the Infinity Mirrored Room by Yayoi Kusama. I’d love to know if you have any Museum / Exhibition recommendations. suritimestwo@gmail.com Email me them : )

As mentioned in the last post, a midi does not have to be evening wear, chucks, a little layering and a bowler hat to top it off make it a very daytime look. Trust me, everyone needs a midi in their wardrobe!

Earth Tones

I love living in London, a city rich in culture and creative arts for everyone to soak in. Tate Modern is an amazing space promoting the enjoyment of modern and contemporary art. The Henrie Matisse exhibition was one that caught my eye, it has already influenced many in the city and one of my favourite takes on his style was the Liberties shop window. Our department stores are renowned for their attention to window display details. Liberties did not fail to impress, a great visual of creativity, colour and imagination.
The exhibition was a beautiful insight into Matisse’ ‘carving into colour’ series. Pages of his sketchbooks were laid out, details from his archives displayed and a stunning collection framed to see up close.
I was first introduced to his work in Primary school, my memory is crystal clear; the day we had to recreate one of his most iconic pieces ‘The Snail’ in 1994, even back then art came to me naturally and creating Matisse inspired pieces felt effortless. His use of bold colour blocks, stylised shapes, compositions and layered scale boast an innovative mind-set like no other.
Unfortunately photography inside the exhibition was prohibited, all the more reason to visit and see an amazing slice of modern art for yourself; view with an open mind and view from a child’s perspective, view to question every placement, colour choice and detail. Its art like you have never seen before.

For walking around town I picked easy wears; comfy boots, plain black t and my new love a beautiful zebra patterned skirt. I have always had a soft spot for animal prints, cant go wrong with teaming it all up with gold accessories; perfect match if you ask me, I absolutely love them!

Pen & Ink

Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure of being involved with a creative project to give young artists like myself a platform to be seen.
Pen & Ink was my first exhibition; I produced black and white artwork to be showcased in One by One store in Soho London.
The event was a huge success and we were ecstatic with the crowd in excess of 200 people turning up to view our work. If you follow my twitter I’m sure you have read about my excitement in the run-up to the launch.
Thank you to everyone who encouraged and supported me throughout, companies like Some-where to offered me an invaluable opportunity and hopefully this will lead to plenty more adventures in the near future.
I am selling a select number of prints from the show in my Etsy store.

To round it all off big love to Misha Meghna a creative visionary.
