Inside Out Again

Exhibition: ArtSelect Gallery in Auckland – Inside Out Again – another solo is running at ArtSelect Gallery in Newmarket Auckland through until Tuesday 18 February. Sales have been good so make sure you find time to call into the Gallery before the Exhibition closes. Inside Out as always refers to the process of getting what is inside my head, outside and onto canvas as an abstraction of a landscape or seascape I have been holding in my mind’s eye.

This painting – oils on board, one metre square and framed in an off-white tray-frame is just one being exhibited. Called ‘The Melt’ because the upper half of the painting with its 24 hour daylight ‘summer on the ice’ elements seems to be melting into the lower half’s catchment lakes, exposing much of the rocky and barren landscape usually hidden under snow and shrouded in 24 hour darkness for several months of each year. However this is just my interpretation . . .
