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
What other profession can ever weave a story with the dexterity of a back peddling politician? With no idea who is watching, going who knows where Crafting , reshaping thoughts and somehow ending up with more than the sum of the parts.
Like a 6 string mass pipe band played with surgical precision. (yes its real) Inspiration, power and passion with a climatic finale Soundtracks to mirror the creative process, From the intensity, anguish and relief at finishing a collection after its due by date, to the torment of viewers dissecting efforts like a day old sandwich. Or even worse give it scarcely a glance. The pain of rejection or the exquisite taste of success. Its enough to send chills down your spine, make the feeble weep and the strong gasp in pain.
