Art By Offenders


The art by offenders exhibit was rather surprising as I thought that it was rather unusual to display artwork created by what most people would class as the lesser people of society (I am not one of those people, just so you know.) the works ranged from models to paintings to sculptures, made using a variety of different materials. The art featured in this exhibition was brilliant; ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ by Lee Colin Edwards is a bold painting with the striking use of red. ‘The Wizard’s Spell Book’ was a remarkable little diorama of a wizard’s room made out of a book and furnished with all of the little things that a wizard might have in his house (like a spell book and a wizard’s hat.) ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ by Branislav Stankovic (not sure I spelled that right but I don’t really have a way of checking.) is a rather impressive painting of a tiger, the fur had definition and the eye was bold and striking. ‘Baby Dragon’ was a wooden model of a baby dragon with working joints and flapping wings.  All in all the works in the exhibition were impressive and I enjoyed it more than some of the exhibitions I have been to.
