Saatchi Gallery

The main objective when visiting the Saatchi gallery was seeing 20:50 an installation by artist Richard Wilson. This contemporary masterpiece is the only permanent piece in the gallery, having been on display by the Saatchi gallery since 1991. I first saw this piece when i was in high school when the gallery was by the London eye, when so young i felt a deep attraction to the piece, having never forgot it. I immediately felt very strongly by its depth and ability to make the space seem bigger, in some ways never ending, and i was very interested in seeing how i felt now that i study a course which relies on things such as space and everything about them. I guess i felt the same, but now i understood better how the medium that was used to create the installation and the fact that it has a mathematically symmetrical scope really affects the effect that the artists goes for when creating this piece. This experienced helped me realise several things, aspects of this installation will remain in my head, most importantly i will remember that even something recycled and simple such as the recycled sump oil in this piece can end up creating an environment or space that is so versatile and perfect that in my opinion can fill the void at many sites.
