A Homage to Catalonia

Two for the price of one, this time. These come from a rather bland modern hotel in Barcelona, at the unfashionable end of the Avenue Diagonal, with some building works going on in surrounding streets that had evidently breached a sewage pipe, as everything smelt of shit. Did this colour my view of the works on offer? You decide...

So this is Exhibit C - an abstract collage complete with frowny eye ¬_¬ that seems to be staring at you in disapproval. The rays coming out of the front of the eye remind me of the way we had to draw the observer in physics experiment write-ups at school.


To be honest, I didn't mind it as much as the one next to it, which we will call Exhibit D.

There's something of the Caves of Lascaux here, something of the Corrida, although it's evidently (?) a horse (well, stallion, I'm guessing... if you see what I mean) and not a bull, but WTF has happened to its front legs? Spain is notorious for its animal cruelty, and I'm not so sure that no horses were harmed in the making of this picture.

Again, the second of our works has been signed. It looks like ∏ R. A fan of geometry, no doubt.
