Day in London - Tate Modern2 (Part 3)

As well as visiting the 'Defining Constructivism' exhibition we also had a look around the other exhibitions currently on display at the Tate modern gallery. There were numerous of work by various artists on display in the gallery and some work influenced me more than others. Here are examples of my highlights from the gallery:

Contemporary Painting

Albert Oehelen - Loa (2007)

Mark Bradford - Los Moscos (2004)

Both these pieces were very inspiring in very different ways to each other but my favorite would have to be Los Moscos. I understand that my background is of a design practice which might lead me to have stronger opinion of design over art. Having visited the Tate my opinions of modern art are slightly worrying because it seems that all that modern art has become are forms of design, the only exceptions are that the work has less meaning and purpose and has been hand crafted. Never the less I fully appreciate the work produced but feel that the work would fit better under the title of Illustration/ Design rather than Art.
