Private Gallery

The images in the CCA Gallery were and exhibition by Mike McCartney, Rupert Truman, and Carinthia West. In the images in the exhibition was very diverse some of the images gave an insight to the lives of the stars of the 60’s such as Mick Jagger and David Bowie, as the photographer Carinthia West was involved in this world she was able to photograph the stars as regular people, which normalised them in a sense which is something that I really liked.

CCA Gallery

The images in the private gallery greatly contrasted what was being exhibited in the CCA Gallery. The style of the images in the Private Gallery focused on the art and culture of the pop art movement. In the gallery the works were more paintesing than they were photographs. The work consisted of bright colours, abstract shapes and abstract painting. The gallery was titled ‘Pop icons on the 20th century, Britain and American pop art’. The pop art movement was around in the 1950’s and peaked in the 60’s but is still widely recognised and practiced today
