> Tate St Ives

We finally got to visit Tate St Ives last week for a much needed dose of culture. 

Completely fell in love with Lucio Fontana's Spacial Concept paintings - smooth, thickly spread oils (the pink one is stunning) perforated by a sequence of holes revealing the space that lay beyond the canvas. Fontana saw this as evocative of infinity.  I loved them!

So too of Roman Ondak's mesmerising "Measuring the Universe" installation. The artwork started as an empty white space with the gallery attendants marking each visitors height, first names and the date. From first glipmse, viewed initially from the room beyond, it is mesmerising, and completely draws you within - a graphic masterpiece!

And then there are the views from the roof top cafe... and the coffee... and the cakes... 

Please go to see the exhibition if you can!
