I went to Manchester Art Gallery a couple of weeks ago and to be honest was a little let down. I hadn't been in a while and expected there to be something exciting going on concerning contemporary art when the only thing of interest I came across were 10 of Leonardo Di Vinci's drawings. I'm going to be honest here, I'm a bit skint so didn't go and see the other exhibition that was on which was Angels of Anarchy : Women Artists and Surrealism. Maybe that would of been of some interest! The artist Paul Morrison created a 25 metre-long wall painting exclusively for Manchester Art Gallery containing sunflowers and daisies depicted over greek temples and country cottages. I really can't grasp why a black and white flat wall painting not really of much excitement can be given 25 metres of a wall in a prominently well known gallery of the UK. I would of been much more impressed to of seen pieces of work connecting more with the diverse culture of the city of Manchester.
