Last night, I went to the opening night of trace, a contemporary art exhibition featuring the work of BA Fine Art students from Leeds College of Art. The title relates to the idea of discovering something through the act of investigation. As first year Fine Art students this is particularly relevant as they are only just finding their feet in a new working environment. In this show they presented a collection of works from a range of artistic perspectives, which hope will reflect their ambitions as aspiring artists.
Even though this isn't design, I think its really important to look at art for inspiration. Engaging with a work of art is a meaningful and a lasting experience. I was really impressed by some of the pieces I saw. Others I thought were trying too hard to be grotesque and shock... but I remember it, so perhaps it was successful because it had an impact?
