Visiting art galleries has become a part of my work. Art spaces have long been an inspiration.... I find visiting #FrancisBacon's art studio; now in a Dublin Art Gallery very moving. Firstly because of the creative chaos in which he worked, and secondly because of the vision the gallery curator had to transfer the whole studio, in precise detail, from London and re-construct it in the #HughLaneGallery. Francis Bacon describes the external mess in the studio as a representation of his internal mind and his life. What is your office/workspace like? Is it a creative mess which inspires you, or perhaps oppresses you. Is a tidy, organised and disciplined space? Do you have art in the space? Do you have plants or pets? Or is your space clinically clean? Do you work in a shared office which suits your inner needs, that inspires you, or perhaps the opposite? Does your workspace mirror your inner life, as it does for Bacon? The spaces we inhabit, the milieu's and contexts we create for ourselves say a lot about us. What does your workplace environment say about you? #art #artgallery #creativity

Yes, so much inspiration and insight from art galleries I use them as integral to my reflective practice after doing your leadership coaching course last year. This image of Francis Bacon’s studio really struck me - enabling such a dynamic space for creativity but also how close that seems to overwhelm and chaos.
