Andrew Aue's TheatreArt in Chelsea Gallery, Old Town Hall

Today I will be near Chelsea Physic Garden, a pleasant walled garden established as The Apothecaries Garden in 1673. After  The University of Oxford Botanic Garden, it is the second oldest botanical garden in Britain. I remember having an afternoon tea with friends a few years ago, very enjoyable.:-)

You can't really enjoy a garden visit in the rain unless you are a frog, a slug or an earthworm. Hence, we headed for  The Chelsea Old Town Hall to see if there was any art exhibition in the upstairs Chelsea Gallery. Yes, a poster outside assured us of it. I walked my friend through the library and up an elegant staircase, past the bust of Thomas Carlyle who used to live nearby (you can visit his house, it's a National Trust property), a nymph sculptured by a local artist and a panorama of old London with a shopping street on London Bridge.
Not only did we see the exhibition, but also met the Dutch artist Andrew Aue, his wife and a nephew. They agreed to pose for me:

We also had a very interesting conversation which made us have another, closer look at the works on display. I asked about his Indonesian roots and heard in reply that his father never talked to him about his country of origin. However, there is a lot of it in his subconscious. You can clearly see the influence of the Indonesian theatre art in Andrew's works. Even if the artist is not there, you can still listen to a 15-minute audio guide which is a very good idea. The exhibition is on till Monday and the items are for sale; not just paintings or sculptures, but also I phone cases, notebooks and other unique and useful items! I would especially recommend it to theatre and musical lovers, and those interested in mixing various materials in sculpture. The exhibition is titled TheatreArt.  Among shows that provided the inspiration for this exhibition are  the West End productions: Les Misérables, RENT & The Lion King.
Would you like to see it for free with your own eyes?

 Enjoy!
