SEPTEMBER 2013 NEWSLETTER
Welcome to the September Newsletter. In a few days daylight saving will plunge us
into summer, warmer temperatures, barbeques and beaches.
Still Lives
A suite of the Still Lives works was exhibited at gallery@109 from 13 May – 2 June
this year and was well patronised, signalling that there is now enough change in
suburban Christchurch to signal that a small corner gallery in Woolston is not out of
place.
Two works from the exhibition were sold to the Waikato Museum of Art and History
through the Barry Hopkins Trust and two further works have buyer interest.
And my continued commitment to the Winners/Losers work of 2012 (referencing the
fact that nothing has yet changed within the circumstances in which the work was
created) the first 4 works in my ‘2013 Silver Calendar’ were also exhibited.
The final (in 2013) Still Lives work, Still Lives #89 for Huia was completed midyear. The work is currently on exhibition at gallery@109 until the end of October with
a special price of $7,500 (incl).
[This is unless the work is selected for exhibition in the Central Otago Art Award and
has to be shipped to Queenstown.]
Still Lives #89 for Huia: 2013. oil on wood panel 61 x 91 cm $7,500
Limited edition giclee prints of this work are available at $250 (incl). Each print
measures 43 x 63.5 cm.
OUT OF ORDER
After completing the first two phases of under painting, Out of order #3 the work
was put into storage in 2011 as the Winners/losers series hold for well over a year.
With the announcement mid-year that Bob Parker was resigning the mayoralty it
seemed appropriate to finish the work, although the relationship is tenuous at best.
Out of order #3 for Bob: 2013 oil on canvas 150 x 180 cm $12,500
OUT OF ORDER series giclee prints
The limited edition giclee prints produced of the first two works continue to draw
interest and a number have been sold this year. I have also now printed a limited
edition of Out of Order #3 on high quality paper.
Prints are $250 each (GST Inc). Pack and post add $10. I have also secured framed
versions (cream mount and white frame) available for $425 (GST Inc). Pack and post
to be negotiated with purchasers.
Email me woodings@clear.net.nz if you would like to order prints.
