During my visit to the Tate Britain gallery, I entered the sensorium which was a small exhibition within the Tate Britain gallery. The sensorium consists of looking at a painting whilst tasting or hearing something else which affects the way we view the piece of art. One of the sensorium painting was a figure in the landscape by Francis Bacon which I looked at whilst eating a piece of dark chocolate. This experience really changed the way I viewed art as the dark chocolate made me dislike the painting, whereas if I didn't have the dark chocolate I wouldn't dislike it as much as I did.
Another of these paintings was Richard Hamilton's interior 2 which was accompanied with a smell of women's perfume. The perfume on this experienced made me like the painting more which really enhanced the experience as one. I enjoyed my experience at the sensorium and I will definitely use it in my own work in the future. I look forward in combining illustrations with smells or sounds to make my viewer dislike a pieces more, enjoy it, or to understand it clearer.
