Between meetings yesterday I was able to use my Tate membership to pop into the Kandinsky exhibition. Wandering around and seeing the gradual change from landscapes to his distinct style of abstract was a real mini history lesson worth doing if you are in the area.

Kandinsky is an artist I have loved for ages and being ‘up close’ to some of his classics was brilliant.

the exhibition is worth visiting just for Composition VI which you will find in room 7 and is Kandinsky’s ‘inner vision’ of th biblical flood. The piece is so engaging, so absorbing , only partly due to its size, that is so easy to sit in front of it for ages and discover more and more. The mood of chaos is obvious, but there is also a strong sense and security of feeling that out of this chaos something new is happening, something new is being re-birthed. Hard to describe, I guess you need to go and see it.

Spiritual parallel? … out of chaos of th church we are starting to see a rebirth maybe, a great new creation, something we have never seen or experienced before, something that will take us by surprise because it is outside of our (as yet current) experience. Now that is an exciting thought!
