Simon Williams - Ponte dell’Accademia, Venezia - Oil on canvas - 99 x 199 cm - $10,250 Earlier this year, leading New Zealand landscapist Simon Williams travelled to Italy to research a new series of works for International Art Centre. Spending time in Venice, Florence, Tuscany and the Cinque Terra, Simon was inspired by all that he saw. From Monte San Sovino, Simon travelled to Lucignano to meet with fellow artist Kasey Sealy. Paintings from Cortona, San Gimignano, Pienza with views across the central plains of Tuscany are all ‘on the drawing board’. However, for Italia Infinito, and the first major work in this exciting new series, Simon chose to paint Venice.

Art has the ability to build bridges and transcend barriers. A work of art whispers to the viewer in a language of its own, a language comprised of accents attune to form, colour and emotion. An articulate work of art draws upon a vocabulary of talent, discipline and passion. Italia Infinito is an exhibition celebrating the long established artistic bonds between Australasia and Italy. One of the earliest such bonds dates back to the late 19th century when Siena born painter Girolamo Nerli (1861-1926) travelled to Australia and New Zealand. Nerli had studied in Florence and was a member of the Italian Macchiaioli School, an Italian movement anticipating French Impressionism. In Australia he worked with Heidelberg School artists Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts and Charles Conder and his influence on these Australian Impressionists is undeniable. Crossing the Tasman to Dunedin Nerli was the teacher of Frances Hodgkins and in 1884 established the Otago Art Academy .
