Description

Presenting an exciting portfolio of new artwork, Denis Robinson includes interviews with artists working in such areas as mixed media, contemporary fibre art, wood sculpture, ceramics, glass and table or wall sculpture, as well as paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolour. In his latest collection of contemporary art, Denis notes a distinct change in art style, with trends away from traditional landscape into themes of Kiwiana, nostalgia and fantasy, with elements of influence from European painters like Chagall, Magritte and Dali. Exploring the pages of New Zealand Gallery provides an up-to-date overview of contemporary art produced in this country. Comprehensive gallery and individual artist listings make this book an ideal reference for anyone wishing to view and purchase New Zealand art today.
