The iconic Andy Warhol is currently exhibiting in Southampton. This is an exciting development in the cultural growth of our city. It’s timing is welcome and very much in line with the refurbished Guildhall Square, and the long awaited and freshly christened Cultural Quarter.

“I have this thing I’d like you to go to…” Oh ok, what’s this going to be? Networking?! …Doesn’t quite sound like my sort of thing but having faced my fears, exorcised those first date jitters and thrown myself into a room full of strangers I can honestly say that I quite enjoyed the experience…

In keeping with the theme of the week, ‘the Kiss’ seems an apt painting to re-visit and appreciate… Gustav Klimt has always been a huge inspiration throughout my personal studies and contributed greatly to my love of art and design.
