London: Urs Fischer – Melodrama
Swiss contemporary artist Urs Fischer is currently exhibiting “Melodrama” at Sadie Coles in London. Featuring 3,000 hand modelled plaster giant raindrops suspended throughout the gallery, the installation creates a pastel rainbow rainstorm cloud which weaves in a swirling movement through the space.
Underneath this multicoloured rain are a series reclining life sized beheaded nudes made out of clay, sometimes painted, sometimes in discarded state with just a carrot.
Putting the fun back into art.

London: Edouard Martinet @ Sladmore
French artist Edouard Martinet has been collecting every day objects and scrap metal from flea markets for decades. He then hand crafted intricate sculptures of life-like animals melting metal and using small screws. From a dragonfly, frog to a beetle, the results are breathtaking. The collection is on display at London’s Sladmore Contemporary until January 31 2014.
