Went to quite an interesting exhibition today at the Royal Festival Hall. As the first image says, the art was made by offenders, secure patients and detainees. It reminded me a bit of a matric art exhibit except that even if the piece was really badly crafted, it still had a dark, underlying message that came across. You can't help but feel sorry for some of these people. But you also can't help wondering what each artist has done to get to their position. There were actually some good art works too, including some reasonable oils, crazy drawings and one mad matchstick boat aslo pictured above. I'd love to see what our Pollsmoor buddies could come up with.
