Banksy

Banksy just began his exhibition in Bristol at the Bristol City Museum. The museum opened it's gallery in a completely secret manner, just as Banksy's identity continues to remain a secret. Banksy has reworked classical statues and has given them modern twists by placing sunglasses on their face. He also has created installations that are surreal, such as a rabbit in a cage wearing pearls.

Jeff Koons at the Serpentine Gallery

While I was in London, I visited the Jeff Koon's exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery. Koon's is an american pop artist who is best known for his use of bright colors, inflatable pool toys, and quirky, comical montages. He has statues of inflatable animals with chairs attached to them or fire wood. He also has montages of the famous cartoon character "Popeye." Koon's artwork appeals to people of all ages, including children. His oversized balloon animals is an example of how his artwork is bright and fun. This exhibit will continue until September 13.
