St. Valentine’s Lights Up



It’s that time of year again it’s much like Marmite, you either love it or you hate it. Yes that’s right, it is Valentine’s Day just in case the abundance of red roses, chocolates and red heart shaped decorations didn’t remind you enough. These days it doesn’t have to be all smushy love songs and overbearing displays of affection on public transport or over a candle-lit dinner. No thankfully this year Valentines Day can be celebrated with art and/or a lighting display.


Critically acclaimed artist Tracey Emin has created a series of  “I Love You” artworks. These magnificent lighting displays are beautifully romantic but as it is Emin it remains undoubtedly cool! This Valentine’s season Emin will be lighting up Times Square in New York. This signature pieces of artwork will be illuminating across buildings in Times Square creating a perfectly adorable, love filled atmosphere. If your around this area go and bathe yourself in the in the deep red lights. I understand not many people will get the chance to experience this first hand but just cuddling up looking at these images will emphasis the atmosphere.


Need a belated Valentine’s present??.. Emin offers a fantastic range of prints from her "I Love You” series.  Even I have one hanging on my wall and just one look at it and I feel instantly uplifted.
