I had an enjoyable day off today visiting the V&A and meeting up with Rodney Bailey. Rodney, who will be exhibiting at Visual Dialogue 2, has a current exhibition at the Orsini Restaurant and is preparing for an exhibition of his graffiti art which will open in November.
His current exhibition is Abstractions on the 48 Preludes & Fugues by J.S. Bach. Rodney began studying the 48 Preludes & Fugues when he was 24 and has had endless joy listening to and learning to play them on the piano. His fascination with them first began in Barcelona where he was living for just under a year in 1992. This collection of work began in 1997 and is a continuous theme in his work.
He has made personal commissions for his friends and family to some of his favourite pieces from the Preludes & Fugues. In his opinion, “Sound and colour are like mother and child in art and to have the good fortune to be able to play the music of J.S. Bach and to make beautiful pieces of art based on his inspirational work is a true honour.”
