This is one BSL tour I want to share, not to be missed. Artist #donaldrodneyartist was most innovative and versatile artist of his time. British born to Jamaican parents, grew up in Smethwick, Birmingham. Rodney lived with #sicklecell anaemia a ‘dis-ease’ he stated. His art became a metaphor for his illness and injustices of society at large. He used real X-rays to draw while in hospital - questioning ‘what lies beneath the surface’, photographs showed how traumatic and intrusive the medical interventions compare if you had white skin. British colonial history that continues in life today. He created films - ‘it was his wish to use accessibility as a weapon of politics’. His 70 trophies with statements he has heard when travelling on the tube, bus, in the paper shop, comments people make about Black people. He work ‘Doublethink’ how ‘treatment of black sportsmen who often receive both cheers of appreciation and taunts of racial abuse’. I would highly recommend you visit this @whitechapelgallery it is free Thursdays 6-9pm weekly to visit. He certainly inspired me. Some photos from @stirup1 (thank you)

Did you miss the BSL tour at @buckinghampalace_official in Kings Gallery? We explored about the Drawing in the Italian Renaissance. The rebirth of art when paper became widely available and affordable for artists to practice drawings for larger artworks. Worth a visit!

This colour, #red brought back memories of my previous red paintings. It’s a powerful colour and I can get addicted to it!! #oilpainting #michaelhardingpaints has the beauty of the pigment - that are just right, ready, so deep and perfectly inspired to paint forever. #newartwork #rubbenaartsolo2025
