The type of art which appeals to me is often simple in form but will create an illusion on the eye. I don't find myself stopping that long by a Monet or a Picasso but what I do find myself stopping at is something ingenious and which tests your perception of your surroundings. Something which plays tricks with you or where you might need a few minutes to work out what's going on. Additionally with my inquisitive mind I often start to think later on about the piece of art work and try to figure out the logistics of the design and how it was put together.This recent interior installation at the V&A Museum in London in the ladies toilet by architects Glowacka Rennie and Swiss artistFelice Varini is a perfect example of this. The idea is to create an illusion with the different levels of surfaces and to further enhance this by repeating this image in the mirrors. It is also an installation which will change with you as you move around the room, you will not see the same thing from any two points in the room. This is art that I enjoy and has me planning a trip to the V&A later this week so I can experience the space.
