Philip Clairmont (NZ)

Country Carnivore Carnival (n.d.)
 
Philip Clairmont (NZ) Country Carnivore Carnival (n.d.) One of the striking things about Country Carnivore Carnival is the incredible downward vortex of energy that Clairmont (1949-1984) channels through the lowered head; down through the seated figure’s arms; and finally through the hand which grips a pencil… Read more

Same-Same

Lara Almercegui and shop renovations
 
At the 55th Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art, Lara Almarcegui filled the Spanish pavilion with mountains of precisely the materials and quantities of those materials - such as brick, concrete, cement, and glass - used by workers to construct the pavilion in the early 20th century.… Read more

Pat Hanly (NZ)

Torso G, 1978

    • Gretchen Albrecht, Snake Charmer, 1976, acrylic on canvas 1500 x 1820

Gretchen Albrecht (NZ)

Gretchen Albrecht was born… Read more

Michael Smither (NZ)

Hills of Tongaporutu, 1972
 
Tongaporutu is a small pretty coastal settlement 67 kilometres north of New Plymouth at the mouth of the Mokau River lined with picturesque old-style family baches. Michael Smither, as we would expect, gives us a different vision of the place. The folksy charm of Smither’s rural… Read more

Gordon Walters (NZ)

Untitled (Piano Keys), nd
 
Untitled (Piano Keys) is a remarkable work for the way it forms a stylistic bridge between Walters’ earliest abstract works and the final fifteen years of his oeuvre while he took a break from his koru paintings. The work also gives us a clue as to… Read more
