Reference 7：London,Cork street (the street of galleries) and the national galleries,

Since I have came to the UK, I have been London few times where has awful air and crowd people on the underground (o, no, Del Boy call it as tube), the city same as my home town- Shanghai－ Busy and Noisy . The reason to visited London again, because there has holden a graduated recruitment exhibition at weekend, I thirst for no longer located at the base of the cliff！Finally, the 2 days trip doesn't work for looking an ideal job, but have changed my option for the city.   Possibly, as the arts award bring a different view to look the world, I found the big London like as a big Gallery, whereever in the clothing shop or restaurant, even at the hotel of backpakers, there hangs so many excellent artwork on the wall. You will never know, if your brilliant inspiration will came from the next step at London. I am confused should i only do a windows shopping for the merchandise presentation or taste it as exquisite masterwork.( Figure 1,2 ,3 ,4 ).  On the contrary, the galleries didn't work for me at this trip, i was planed to visit Cork street where has many galleries at the morning of second day, but most of them closed before 12:00 pm, so i just did windows 'shopping' at the Cork street. And then, we moved to the Royal Academy of Arts and the national gallery. The gain of the trip of  London that are the art like as a part of daily life and a part of city, it help the developing of business and influence the behavior of customer. 

                                     Figure 1: The decoration of a close shop, there has very interesting old picture.

   

Figure 2: The merchandise presentation of a luxury leather shop. Their clothes made of old newspaper, the excellent clipping and design, as though the model could to open mouth and speak with me.

 Figure 4: The merchandise presentation of Hermes, the wires draws a vivid picture and the background of the trademark.

                                                                Figure 4: The windows presentation of a tailoring shop， I seen different character gentlemen standing at there and smiling to me, all of them has interesting hobbies and jobs.

Figure 5: A beautiful wall in H&M, it showed the lovely feeling when girl being confidence as her new clothes.

Unit 1 Part C: The research about Paul Stangroom

Paul stangroom who is a based Hexham outstanding aritst in Northeast England,  the Northumberland landscape has provided him with rekindled source of inspiration. he has won the royal watercolour society prize in 2009 in london, it proved he is one of the best painter in 21st Century Watercolour exhibition. His masterwork paints have been sold to collectors all over the world, and his small printings and greeting cards based on his popular works have been limited sold at online gallery and biscuit factory gallery. Furthermore, his work all over the world from Newcastle to Delhi.


The art influence of Paul from his farther Lawrence Strangroom who also is an artist/illustrator, and teached Paul in the traditional techniques and skills. then paul studied Fine ART AT THE central School of Art in london and at Sunderland Polytechnic Faculty of Art and Design (it be called university of sunderland now). 
He has produce few albums include Northumberland, Whitby Abbey,the Windows and India.


In 1979, Paul Stangroom fist visited Himalayan mountains in India, the experience not only support his painting for the albums India Collection, but also effect his further artwork which always include elements of wild and remote places. Furthermore, collectors was magnetize by his diversity experience, so his artwork in various private collections across the world.


From 1994 to 1997, he archived drawings and paintings of sculpture in Whitby Abbey for English Heritage, as a part of an archaeological and structural survey of the monument, it is the source for the albums of Whitby Abbey.

Since moving to Hexham in 2002,Paul has found the pennines and Narthumberland to a new and more poignant source of inspiration. he spent a lot of time wandering the fells and have become increasingly interested in the abandoned and often derelict cottages. 'i will often wait for a number of years before painting some of the places and visit them at different times of the year to try and understand why a particular place has had an impact on me, I suppose the paintings are my way of trying to undersand why these places have struck some kind of chard or resonance with me.'(Paul, 2011)

Before 2006, He was a lecturer at Northeast England. Then, he teach the ongoing private art classes at Hexham. It support the core income to pursue his artwork. As his comment the period of time:" this has evolved over many years and within that various themes have kept on emerging.' He is a lucky man, more artists pass into silence and give up their dreams in their grey time.


There has few photos of Paul's artwork when i visited Biscuit Factory.( PLEASE NOTE ALL THE PICTURES I HAVE ADDED TO THIS BLOG WERE TAKEN USING MY CAMERA PHONE. PURELY FOR DOCUMENTING PURPOSES) 

                                                      

At the first time when i seen the Paul's painting, i took his artwork for the photo of landscape, but not a colourwater painting, it showed how veritable and vivid his artwork is. he good at display the many shades of  colours, there is great contrast between the tiny brushstrokes for close shot with the background of sky. His artwork influenced my painting practice to be more vivid and use the great contrast into the artwork. Also, I have better understanding about how the painting to show the frame of mind and how to bring to bear the gold section into the painting of structure. From Paul's experience, I learnt the success of artists are not only continue hard working. but a really masterwork has a historical massiness of precipitation comes down, the painting like the mirror as artist's the inner world and intelligent.
I also learnt that the limited paintings might bring the limited income, but if the artists could to sell the photo of paintings or produced the cards which has the painting, then the 'only one' painting could to been continue produce and selling. On another words, to develop the painting related products is a good way to increased the income and improved the influence of artists.
