.JOHN MARTIN.
After going to the Tate Britain to see.. John Martin - Apocalypse. Although his work was more traditional then my practise. In one of his rooms he had a piece where there were projections on his paintings (this was remastered by someone else in a way of displaying his paintings.) Although I didn't necessarily like the style which it had been done - I found this really inspiring for me to look further into the idea of projections.

"Theatrical display of the 'Last Judgement' triptych
Exhibitions of these paintings were sometimes accompanied by dramatic lectures and lighting. Theatre company Uninvited Guests have created a sound and light show for our own times, when apocalyptic blockbusters are a popular cinematic entertainment. The words you can hear are drawn from the pamphlet that contained a descriptive key to the paintings, published advertisements and reviews from the time of the original exhibition tour and Martin's inspiration, the Book of Revelation, King James Bible" (Tate website)
