Thinking about the weekend: David Lachapelle and Via delle Arti


And if it will be sunny on Saturday?! "Sperem" a typical Milanese would say! 

Light and warm weather already make me want to plan for the weekend, my mind escapes from the office and I already put in the bag the camera to capture a corner of the sky and a light cloth to steal a corner of the grass.
Finally I would complete the en plein air kit with few good venues in Milan.
Here are a few that came to my mind between evasions and digressions of mid-week!
Two ideas to feed your eyes with colors of the arts and the with an excellent breakfast. It is too late: my countdown has already begun!

Exhibition of David LaChapelle @ Gallery Robilant + Voena 

The exhibition Earth Laughs in Flowers of the famous American photographer David LaChapelle is a must! 
The works are a representation of beauty and vanity shout in the explosion of colorful flowers, reinterpreted in a modern, surreal and humorous. In fact, among the flowers and the candles of the classic still life Baroque art, there are also common objects of modern life: balloons, mobiles, dolls, food fast food, newspapers, toys and cigarettes.
The works are for sale at about € 70.000, a figure no less vain than the beauty of the show itself!
Earth Laughs in Flowers @ Gallery Robilant + Voena
Via Fontana 16, Milan
From February 16 to March 24, 2012
Hours: Monday through Saturday from 10 to 18
Free admission

English Breakfast @ Via delle Arti
To stay on the subject of art and flowers, a few meters far from the Gallery Robilant + Voena there is Street Arts where you can stop for a light lunch or a breakfast.
On Saturday and Sunday I strongly suggest the English Breakfast that includes savory pancakes or scrambled eggs, with the addition of a croissant (very good), bread with butter and jam, orange juice and coffee (cost 8 €).
The restaurant is small, comfortable and bright. Pictures and flowers are everywhere: the spring is already here!
