CUBIST 4 | 24 March - 12 April
CUBISM: A revolutionary style of painting pioneered by Picasso and Braque at the the beginning of the twentieth century. Cubism sees single point linear perspective give way to multiple viewpoints within the picture plane and subject matter reduced to geometric shapes, cubes and facets.
CUBIST 4 is an exhibition showcasing cubist paintings by four leading New Zealand artists: Brian Dahlberg | Patterson Parkin | James Watkins | Timon Maxey.
These works are adventures for the eyes. Land, sea, sky, shape, pattern and texture. Paintings rendered as tapestries of colour and prisms of light.
Artists have long been inspired to capture the beauty of our land, so endowed with geographical contrast. In this exhibition it is refreshing to see the New Zealand landscape painted from a cubist perspective whilst retaining the essence of the unique subject matter.
