Modern Art- do you like it?

As much as I try, I really struggle with some modern art. We were always dragged round the Tate and other modern art exhibitions being encouraged to find something we liked to write an essay on back at school but I really struggled. The Louvre is completely different, to me that is talent, real art. But the following pieces i really cannot understand!

Tracey Emin 1998



R. Mutt 1917

Folding Paper Guy!

SIPHO MABONA

Someone, had mentioned this guy to me and I then came across him in a newspaper. Despite the fact that I would never pay for one of the paper sculptures, I think they are really incredible and this is a really talented and creative guy. His designs are so intricate and some take him up to 20 hours to fold, they are all done out of one sheet of paper and can take up to six months to design. He folded his first paper plane at five years old and is now folding creations which are being exhibited all over the world, from Japan to France and Switzerland to Canada. Some of his designs sell for more than £1500.
I think this guys work is amazing and its really nice to something new and original being designed.

'Circle of Love'

KIM LAWRENCE
'Circle of Love' Figurines
I love Kim Lawrence range of figurines, yes they are romantic and could be seen as soppy but I think they are so elegant and well designed. They represent all those feelings between two people or parents which arent usually seen or understood by anyone except those two people.
'Infinite Love'





'Profound Love'





'Like No Other Love'



'Always'
