Gillian Ayres is one of Britain's best-known painters. In 1960 she was the only woman to take part in the "situation" exhibition in London which launched a major new phase of modern painting in Britain.

Gillian Ayres - Sound of Silence

Although abstract in appearance, her work reveals the inspiration of nature. In "Sound of Silence" the larger part suggests a cottage garden in bright sunshine. Pointed roof gables can be seen at the top and plants forms below. Ayres seems to have combined this with a romantic night scene of a crescent moon and stars on the right, evoking the silence of the conntryside and of the night which have their own symphony of sounds.

Her Majesty in Bowie's Album cover graphic style... Is it Banksy own tribute to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee? Not his usual state of mind... but it was a famous Banksy's spot in Bristol (recently taken over by street art rivals).
