Bit Part Player.....

For this to make any sense it would be helpful to have a quick look at my previous picture of the Fire Station coffee shop (and art centre).....

 

I have photographed the exterior of this building on three occasions now. It is a street photographers dream. Yesterday Kerry enquired in the comments, if I had had a coffee? Well I felt a little guilty that I hadn’t and thought I would rectify that today.

 

There is currently an exhibition of sculpture by Johannes Von Stumm on in the Fire Station. I took my mother (who is an artist in her own right) to have a look around. I bought our coffees and then surveyed the artwork.....I’m always attracted to the price tags first.....One tag read £42,000 and another read £51,000. Beautiful artwork but not really my cup of tea (or price bracket)......

 

The pictured bronze was sat by the bar and caught my eye. I went over and looked at it. It was a completely different style of work to the other sculptures. Much more up my street. I enquired of the barman if this was made by Mr Von Stumm as well? .....

 

He said No. One of the bar staff had made it!!!!!

Heck there are some very talented people around.....

 

Thanks for visiting.

 

Have a good weekend.....
