LONDON – IMPRESSIONISTS ON PAPER; DEGAS TO LAUTREC
I have never not been in my Degas era, because I love his work, most everything I have seen of it. Matter of fact on my bucket list is an acquisition of a Degas sketch because I love how he conveys romanticism within the slight of his pencil. Degas captures a softness that comes with…

LONDON – ACCIDENTALLY WES ANDERSON
I like how unpretentious this exhibition is; it is not in the big fancy museums, rather it is in an unassuming location in South Kensington (apt) and the space in contorted into different rooms through arches which is possibly on purpose so you can do that thing where you see pictures in angles, and on…

BARDO ST JAMES- MAYFAIR
Besides dessert, Italian cuisine is my Achilles heel. I love it for its simplicity and its synergy with other elements that make a good meal; olive oil, cheese, wine… what I find incredible about Italian food is that there is no pretence; where French is all fine dining and techniques of the cuisine and is…

BEST OF ENEMIES- A REVIEW
Put David Harewood in anything and I will watch, I miss him on Homeland when I rewatch, and I purposely do not watch the episode where he dies. Can’t bear it. He is an exceptional actor and so you will find in the play Best of Enemies that is currently in London until the 18th…

LONDON- PAUL CÉZANNE
There is a reason I continually visit Provence and its simply because I want to be near the mastery of Paul Cézanne. I have never known a more evocative artist, one that plays with light and mood in a way that is both romantic and dramatic but awfully quiet. The current exhibition at the Tate…

LONDON- AFRICA FASHION @ V&A
Three words that do not jive with my soul; Africa, British, Museum and so when I heard that there was to be an upcoming African fashion exhibition at the V&A, I rolled my eyes because it was surely to be more of the same; a show of tokenism and white washing that would seek to…

Let’s Do Drinks – London
SMITH & WOLLENSKY I’d never stepped foot here until recently, it is an old world steak place, the kind of place that deals were done back in the day, white table clothes, gilted bar with all the liquors and a busy, busy atmosphere. It is also the perfect after work spot that requires a bit…

BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY- A REVIEW
It is rare that the main character evoke so many emotions in a play, they have you rooting for them and simultaneously against them. If there was an era I could live in, it would be the Harlem Renaissance; to be in the thick of it and to see Black creatives thrive in their element……
