What will surprise absolutely no one who knows me well is that I've already gotten lost countless times during my time in London. The one time that I got somewhere early -- to our scheduled tour of the Museum of Brands -- we ended up wandering about, getting distracted, and ended up being the last ones to the tour. That said, I don't regret it for even a second.

While lost, I found a small free, public gallery that had pieces from a number of famous artists called the London Westbank Gallery. The above is a piece entitled
Monet Talks by Maximilian Wiederman that's essentially a laser cut oil paining on top of an LED Lightbox that's advertised for 7500 GBP. The pun is one that I can actually appreciate, given the context and commentary that comes with the piece. There were other beautiful pieces such as the one showcased to the left of this text, which uses a text message over an acrylic painting to get its point across. Something that I personally find funny is that the alignment for the text is Justified, which adds another layer of meaning to the piece. The fact that I have a friend back home who absolutely loves Mr Brainwash and his work is just the cherry on top.
