Bryce Brown At The Art Space

As a young country, New Zealand is developing rapidly with so many changes in the last one hundred years, we sometimes struggle to keep up. It's diversity is as great as the figures that dwell upon it. We have a lot of different cultures that are influencing the face of our nation, some of these going back one hundred and thirty years such as the Europeans, the Chinese gold miners of Otago and the Dalmation wine makers. The Maori migrated from Polynesia around a thousand years before that.

I have aimed to capture the people and surroundings of the New Zealand landscape, reflecting on my fascination with the parallels between the European Modernist movements and the settlers of this country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This Modernist influence mixed with New Zealand culture is evident in my most recent figurative paintings and gives it a truely unique, international flavour.

I hope you enjoy...
