Waterline series by Clyde Scott. Seen at the Suter Gallery in Nelson, comprising of images about the Cook Straight. Clyde Scott trained at Ilam Art school in the 50's . The current work he is doing is inspired by the timber found in a boat shed and manifested on long thin strips of Kauri called strakes. He has rendered these wonderful long thin coastal drawings, inspired by Herman Sporing's drawings ( aboard the Endeavour) .This began the Waterline series: In the wake of Captain Cook.
Beautifully painted in acrylic and pencil. I kept coming back to look at this piece because it stirred such emotion in me. To me, such a successful use of material, imagery, story, history and landscape.

A work by a favourite artist of mine , Euan Macleod and Greg O Brien.
The Suter Gallery in Nelson had this exhibited last month. Title: Water Testing stations of the cross country river systems, 2017. I really enjoy the format and composition of this work and how you can follow the flow and destination of the water in a very recognisable New Zealand land mass. The tall composition is satisfying to portray a high local landscape . ![]() Do I need to say anything about how this object just engages you as a thing of loveliness. I saw it at the Suter Gallery in Nelson, New Zealand. It is created by Mandy Gargiulo . I appreciate the detail, design, delicacy and how she has manifested this into something delightful that reminds me of the sea. Its title is: The Mighty Quinn. |
