Drawing Tuesday - Brunei Gallery

Upstairs was Japanese lacquer (till 21 September), downstairs a chunk of Namibian music history, popular music from the 1950s80s, including many album covers, including this "fictitious album cover" by David Megameno Amukoto - it's a cardboard print, not a medium I'd heard of before.
 This photo caught my eye -
Dance Competition 1959, Windhoek

The legs still aren't right...!
 Jo enjoyed the way the man's suit blended into the background -
 ... and the vigour of this woman's dancing, in another photo -
 She also collected some vintage boomboxes -
Janet B, who usually confines her drawing tools to a simple pencil, had some pencil crayons in her bag and found this costume -

Among the lacquer, Carol conveyed the shine and dimensions of the lacquered clam shell -
 Sue found a beautiful lacquer box -
 ... and in the foyer, an enormous head -

I spotted a lovely piece of lacquerware by Koyanagi Tanekuni on the way out -
Maki-e Tray "Dawn cloud"
This red lacquer tray with luminous shell inlay expresses the
impression of the eastern sky in the morning, and filled with
the feeling of hope.
