“My painting process usually
begins with a single object.
Following several preparatory
sketches. I then start the
process of adding other images,
as well as fabricated bits and
pieces. Using a combination of
fabricated tromp l’oeil paper
objects and the underlying
painted surface, I hope to
create work that is both
completely familiar and yet
new again. Like life itself, each
work resonates with both the Black on Black - John Emery
story and history associated with some objects, and the
imagined potential of others. As an American down under
for more than 37 years, I realise I have become addicted
to the Southern Latitudes and the continuously changing
landscape of New Zealand. The bounteous flora, fauna,
landscape and weather provide a rich smorgasbord of
images, never static.”
Martin Cole
Martin Cole’s interest and
pleasure of the natural
world direct his themes and
his environmental concerns
led him to work with found
materials. His artworks,
referred to as assemblages,
Huia - Martin Cole
depicted. Cole’s insects, birds and frogs come to life formed
from objects of a previous life, a doorknob, coin or cutlery.
Varying metals are skilfully welded together creating
interesting patinas and textures.
He studied Fine Arts at East Sydney
Technical College in 1989 and has been
working with metal for around 8 years
and lives in Lyttelton.
Mark Dimock
Mark’s 3D pieces are made from found
materials. Old fence posts, provide the
timber for his bird bodies and rusted
steel form the wings and details. Pieces
of abandoned farm equipment have
sculptural qualities that are well used to
support the birds and form conceptual
contrast and physical support for
the sculptures. Mark has great skill
mimicking the natural stance and
movement of birds on the wing and as
they alight.
Mark Dimock has been living and
working in Eketahuna since 1980
where he has established a large studio
workshop and gallery.
He has exhibited widely in
New Zealand and held more than
40 solo exhibitions and many
group shows.
