Well, as you may have spotted in Monday’s post, I escaped the ‘Big Smoke’ and hit the Cornish coast for a rather wonderful time at The Scarlet. When I wasn’t comatose with Scarlet induced relaxation I did get out and about to explore some new places as well as visit some old favourites. An old favourite is Padstow, partially based on my guilty crush on Rick Stein…
Another draw to Padstow is the Drang Gallery, which is always guaranteed to have some very interesting work on show in this small, but perfectly formed space. This trip we were lucky enough to pop along when they were hosting a Damien Hirst exhibition. Alongside an awe-inspiringly huge 3D image of Hirst’s infamous diamond incrusted skull, there was a great selection of butterfly prints. If you love these but don’t quite have a few grand to throw at some new art, why not consider this really quite lovely Hirst butterfly wallpaper? I shouldn’t think Hirst has ever knowingly overlooked a brilliant commercial opportunity, and he has certainly made the most of this one. Butterflies have been a strong fashion print theme for the past few Summers, and now this has hit the home front too.
Each roll is about £250, and do bear in mind that this small space apparently took just under 2 rolls, so it may not be the cheap route to owning some Hirst that we were hoping for…
