ArtSpam Favourites: June 2021
Oh boy, June came and went. Can you believe that it's July? Damn, where does all the time go? Anywho, this months round up is of an eclectic mix. I won’t lie its an interesting load of artwork. You know the phrase ‘sublime to the ridiculous and back again’?. Yeah, that pretty much sums up this month in my adventures into the art world. I went to see some fabulous statues and artefacts from Ancient Rome during Nero’s reign, slipped into the wizarding world and explored some fantastic beasts and where to find them, had a cup of tea with Rubens before deep diving into the maze of Jean Dubuffet. Like I said ‘eclectic’. Or just plain mad. Either way, welcome to #ArtSpam Favourites for June!
