A place to celebrate

This amazing mixture of images all come from the Cyprus College of Art. This is one place we had as a must-see place to visit. 

We holidayed in Cyprus once before, in 2003 we think, & we still remembered its astonishing effect. We feared the artwork wouldn't have changed much - they look rather heavy & awkward to move around - yet they had.


So often people seem to arrive at the college looking miserable. Everyone, but everyone, seems to leave, smiling & giggling. Anywhere that can have that effect must be celebrated.


If you look carefully, you will notice many of sculptures are made with waste products - the mosaics made with broken china & glass. The eyes of the third image are the bottom of coloured glass bottles. It's all pretty wonderful.


So if you are planning to go to Cyprus, make a trip to Lempa & the College of Art.


I hear today a new Turner art gallery of contemporary art is opening in Margate. I bet it doesn't fill you such well-being as the college in Cyprus.
