Anish Kapoor
Lisson Gallery
Kapoor's paintings are both beautiful and ugly - like our body! Visceral and vaginal as if a phenomenological body is carving a wall from the inside. A pretentious voluptuous copy on Adriana Varejão' exploration on themes of colonialism, miscegenation and anthropology, but without Varejão sensual forms.

Lisson Gallery
Quite, simple, neat, loose strokes with some traces of wilderness; Browns, Oranges, Greens, Grays, and Blues at the same time with great levels of concentration and energy.

Rubens and His Legacy
Rubens and His Legacy: Van Dyck to Cézanne
Royal Academy of Arts
Royal Academy of Arts
"The triumph of Rubens's nudes is his magnificent evocation of the texture of human skin, represented in such a way it feels almost palpable. We see blood coursing through the veins of the voluptuous flesh. The delicate mother-of-pearl complexions of the female bodies radiate with light. Their soft skin suggests vulnerability and invites you to touch it. ... Rubens's nudes were, as per tradition, drawn from mythological, literary and sometimes biblical sources." [... in Gallery Guide...]
Let's be honest! Every art work is about sex! Pure and simple sex (homo- and hetero-) veiled under some other subject matter, like politics, religion, science, race, the exercise of power, etc. or the human body sensuality and sexuality while posing and interacting with those dynamics and conditions ruling contemporary life.

Time Out
Time Out the magazine done by, for and aiming those people using the underground at peak-time; who work at Primark, John Lewis, Selfridges, etc, or any house agencies, as Sales Consultant/Assistant/Associate, and who spend more time interacting on social media than physically with people. Time Out the magazine made by those people that might had been voguish and leaders on their own fields of action, but who no longer are, to those same other people. Time Out is so last decade... an abeyance on the joys of playing.
