I've been in Sydney for a few days catching up with family and my sweet grandchild Sofia, who- poor poppet Ive been babysitting since the crack of dawn cause she is a sick with some dam germ!  Its been a while since Ive seen so many cartoons for kids.... the up side is that it may be considered arty research for my forays into animation. 

Ive got to see some great art whilst here.... Francis Bacon and his tormented vision of the human condition and another interesting artist at Dominik Mersch Gallery Li Hongbo: Pure White Paper.

And that is what his work is made from, just pure white paper!! 

Some works give the effect of solid plaster and as you walk around the room a bit puzzled, because you realise its not plaster but paper cut and molded into a shape like a skull.  Or, like the work Girl 1 where the paper is more exposed by stretching it out in a concertina method to form extended limbs of the girl.  Very interesting and not laser cut!  on till Until December 22.
