I have always admired Mark Boyle's work. Randomly selected aspects of the world that remind us of the the sublime beauty of the every day. Also maybe a comment that everything can be art and anybody can make art. To call yourself an artist doesn't necessarily mean that everything you make is art.

Blake has depicted Newton as recapturing innocence. The physist is depicted nude, oblivious to his nudity, focusing only on the mathemeatics that he is working on. Newton is raised by the colourful rock symbolising the awe at the natural world that he is experiencing, using his understanding of mathematics to aid his contemplation. By being raised above his work by the rock Blake reminds us of Newton's famous claim that if he had seen further "it was by standing on the shoulders of giants." Here the giants are innocence and the natural world.

Weighty magnetic attraction enclosed by and in a womb = visual tension, excitement, latent energy.

Goodbye Yellow Strip Road.
A post modernist statement on the shallowness of western materialism and the search for a new philosophy that leads to a more enlightened Emerald City.
For those interested the yellow strip dream disappears just west of the Shepherd's Bush roundabout.

1. can you feel the power of the gladiators?? - 2. this work represents the artists self indulgence and his ability to trick the audience into believing it actually had a meaning at the time its of capture.

South Bank Circle by Richard Long is constructed with broken slate pieces isn't a circle. its infinite angles are broken by the edges of the slate showing the jagged danger of society.
Stuart
the circle represents the broken parts of the circle line (underground)
Alan Gee
Richard Long's South Bank Circle is not a circle. Where the edges of the slate ends simply suggests a circle. The contradiction between the declaration in the title of the pure shape of a circle and the actuality of a collection of rough an jagged shards of slate is what this work is all about. The circle carries many connotations: life, harmony, stability, order…. and again there is that tension between the disorder of the slate slabs and the imposed order of the artist. Or is the artist trying to suggest that nature though appearing to be chaotic has at its core order. Or again, as humans do we try to see order in chaos. In the end the power of such artworks is to make us think, to give us a puzzle to decode and to elude any ultimate meening

'South bank Circle' it was done better in the sixties!

it is as iron ore felt once adn while collecting itself-it rested

South Bank Circle by Richard Long reminds me of a circling school of fish. Humans, like fish, huddle together for kinship or protection from their enemies. These slivers of slate coalesce into an organic whole which softens their individual wedge-like shapes. Human communities also soften the edges of their members.

A circle made of slate indicates life revolving.

Holland Park Avenue Study is a simplistic yet immensely thought provoking piece, showing the understated items of everyday living, yet highlighting an view that so many people take for granted every day.
Sue Almeida
Lines, form, conformity. Black, grey, dull. The one bright thing to cling to, the yellow line, like the yellow brick road, it will ultimately lead to the Emerald City where all your dreams will come true, or you will return home, back to the beginning to start again.
Sue Almeida
The circle of life, it’s very simple, beautiful and a smooth ride on the surface, but watch out for the deep silos that nestle between the smooth pieces, ultimately most of us end up there and try for the rest of our life to reach the top smooth surface again.

At first glance it looked like chunks of bitter sweet chocolate.
Random. Free flow.Uniquely sized and shaped blocks. Merging to form a whole. Collabration. Breathing spaces.Solid. Movement and unity.

Holland Park Ave, colour line and form, all things to examine in a apinting found in the real world.

A circle is a perfect form, here made of imperfect forms. A metaphor for Life.

Richard Longs` "Southbank Circle"- The ultimate circle of life is composed of multiple segments which when experienced seem quite haphazzard.

Straight lines and right-angles do not appear in nature's architecture -- they are uniquely human. Nature is present in the urban landscape, but is rigidly recast: rows of equally-spaced trees flanking an avenue, stone crushed and shaped as block, sand melted into windows and street lamps. Mark Boyle's "Holland Park Avenue Study" reveals nature's redesign in the most common.

Mark Boyle's Holland Park Avenue Study is a masterpiece of showing you just what's under your nose. As well as showing the painterly surroundings - the markings, symbols, textures and materials we are surrouonded with and take totally for granted
