Last weekend I took a trip into London and went to the Southbank Centre to see an Andy Warhol exhibition. It claimed it would show him in a new light. It didn't, he is still a brilliant artist but a scummy person. However, by buying the ticket to see Andy Warhol, I also got free entry to see Robin Rhode and that was well worth it. Using the simplest of materials - his body, chalk, pavements and walls he manages to produce amusing, socially aware, clever and well art directed pieces of work. It was a nice introduction to this artist and I'm looking forward to seeing what he produces in the future as I am not sure how far this medium he has chosen will take him.
