[ Sainsbury's SE1 supermarket shock ]

Talk to any resident of the South Bank and Bankside
areas about the disadvantages of living in this part of
Central London, and the lack of supermarkets is bound
to come up. 

Well, the area's reputation as a supermarket-free zone
could be a thing of the past if Sainsbury's carry out a
redevelopment of their Stamford Street headquarters
site. 

Last week's announcement that the supermarket group is
to relocate its head office to Holborn Circus paves the
way for plans to develop new office accommodation in
Stamford Street, together with a 10,000sq ft
Sainsbury's Central store.

[ Integrate, Amalgamate, Differentiate ]

Farouk Campbell writes:

The unique steel mesh sculptures by David Begbie are
beautiful, erotic and dynamic creations each exhibiting
a life of their own.  Begbie basis his work on creating
archetypes of beauty and physical perfection of the
male/female physique.

The steel mesh is moulded by hand, manipulated like
clay and it is interesting to find the superb detail in
some of his smaller works.

His sculptures not only communicate beauty but also
convey movement.  Sculpted mobiles of faces seem like
holographic projections, and bodies amalgamated in
tableaux of 2s and 3s extended this movement in poses
and shadows they create.

The interesting element of shadows is essential to the
design of each creation and as light glides through the
steel mesh creating a doppelganger effect they reveal
surprisingly more details of the figure and its
classically proportioned lineaments.  Begie's
sculptures are aesthetically eye-catching in their
beauty, dynamic construction, their proportions, and in
the amazing way they incorporate shadows.  They are
extremely desirable and fascinating to see.
