Sleight of Hand

Sleight of Hand The Port Nelson Suter Biennial opened last night at The Suter Gallery in Nelson. The exhibition, curated by Anna-Marie White, brings together a selection of work by contemporary New Zealand artists who ‘remain committed to traditional art values, combining technical skill with visual theory to create a range of illusory effects.’ Page Blackie Gallery artist Emily Wolfe features in the exhibition, with her stunning work The Folly, 2010 (seen above).
Sleight of Hand runs through until the 27th of February 2011.

John Walsh on Artsville, this Sunday night

Peta Carey's stunning documentary "The Waterfall", a one hour documentary that features John Walsh, for TVNZ's Artsville, will air this Sunday night at the very sensible time of 10:30pm, on TVOne.

John, together with three other artists, journeyed into Fiordland to paint the surroundings, inspired by the waterfall that William Hodges painted in Dusky Sound, in 1773.

The resultant work from John's experience is the magnificent Act 2 Scene 2: There are visitors at the head and they don't look friendly, let your demon go you can get him later, which featured in John's recent exhibition at Page Blackie Gallery.

"The Waterfall", Artsville, Sunday 12th Dec, around the 10.30pm mark, TVOne.
