Red Cloud`s opening night last month in Yallingup, Western Australia. Featuring several artists from NZ, Australia, France and the US. Plus a large selection of Chan Andreassend objects including tool sculptures, ceramic lights, resin wall hearts and the landscape discs. facebook.com/redcloudartspace
Another classic Chan Andreassend design still going strong after 7 years. Developed from the inside of the ceramic tapa canoe. Recently used in a Samoan Resort, last year the Queenstown Hilton Spa, as well as numerous other projects including courtyards and homes. The most popular colours are white and bone crackle glazes with the red and lime equally stunning.
Some preview photos of tonights Gala Opening of the Baradene Art show. Got invited to exhibit more ceramic lights a few hours before the opening -33works in total. Its good for business and doesn`t hurt the profile either
The next stage in the Waltz series, doubling in size to 700mm. Its a good size to have fun with detailing and ideas. Still finishing 3 ceramic lights but 22 resin sculptures, paintings and lights are ready to go! All for the Baradene Art Show . Now in its 23rd year, this event showcases over 600 pieces of work from over 100 contemporary NZ artists including emerging and established artists. Gala opening 18 May in Remuera, Auckland 6.30-9pm. tickets online. This is where Art means Business.
Of course a finale is never enough with just wishful thinking. Finally every passion, insecurity, idea, hope, aspiration, thought, angst and energy comes together in something that is bigger than the sum of the parts. Art as a metaphor for life, sports, politics, business and society. Maybe
Not for me The never quite made it consultants with glossed over credentials . Yet another Guru flaunting yet another secrets to success seminar. Intellectualised prattle of Art Critics basking in the glow of their lofty review. Tall Poppy Syndrome validating Greed is Good or outright theft. Public Servants Entitlements forgetting where the money came from. Councils with political agendas over-riding common sense. Red Tape strangulating entrepreneurs & productivity Loopholes that allowed the Leaky Home & Finance Industry fiasco. A society which ignores the vulnerable, the whistle blowers, and national pride based on the sporting field. Just play me an Anthem and unfurl a flag
