The gallery mainly consisted of typical 'traditional' paintings and images. However, it also had a few line drawings and drafts from the artists, which I found much more interesting than the actual finished images.
The roughs seemed to have much more meaning to them, personally, I'm growing increasingly tired of seeing a landscape, or a portrait, or a plain 'pretty picture'; and whilst I can definitely appreciate the craft and skill taken to produce the final image, I can't help but be bored by it. Id much rather look at the working out of an image, or something with some substance and emotion, rather than some hills.
Maybe this has come from a lifetime of looking in plain old galleries, it could just be my brain has been over saturated and now I'm looking for something else to stimulate.
I also learned that Leeds Uni Gallery don't allow pictures to be taken inside.
