Canvas Magazine New Zealand Herald

Here is an article that was printed in the New Zealand Herald 'Canvas' Magazine on Sunday the 11th of April 2009, that includes a large image of one of my paintings titled 'When You're Asked to Join a War about Nothing'.

The article is about a book that I am featuring in called 'Seen This Century: 100 Contemporary New Zealand Artists; a Collector's Guide' by Warwick Brown (Random House). This book is to be released on the 17th of April and will be available in most well known book stores in New Zealand and abroad. 

 This article discusses the recent shift in opinion whereby being an artist is seen as a respectable profession and that the values of contemporary art is in the social commentary the work represents rather than in the labour and scale of the work.
