Xaraz Gallery

Veyot invited me to hang my latest work at Xaraz Gallery

… of course, I said yes. I have just finished this ‘Alien Envoy’ series…

… if you don’t like art that regards you back, these creatures will probably make you uncomfortable…

… I like the way Xaraz Gallery is made, with it’s multiple, glass mezzanines…

… as always, I enjoyed hanging these works, with Flutter’s help, of course…

… wherever you stand in the gallery space…

… at least one of my beautiful, alien ambassadors is watching you.

Venezia

Venezia, where I recently opened another gallery, is a very pretty sim…

… there is a wonderful combination of grand and humble architecture…

… plenty of opportunities to employ perspective in your photography…

… there are lots of colourful old buildings…

… plenty of waterways, of course…

… gently lapping against ancient blockwork…

… which can be crossed using the many little footbridges.

Birdlings Flat

Flutter and I visited ‘Birdlings Flat‘, today. This is apparently based on a NZ, South Island beach, which I’m guessing is somewhere South of Christchurch…

… there’s plenty of Kiwi treats, here. Kingfishers…

… and the ubiquitous hawk on a country road fence post…

… the hills…

… the ‘Save the Eels’ sticker…

… my favourite kind of isolated beach…

… rugged sheep…

… there is much Zen-like natural simplicity, here, it’s very beautiful…

… this could be a coastal walking track, almost anywhere in NZ…

… once again, a wonderful scene sculpted with minimalist precision…

… this is a very uncluttered environment…

… there are even PÅ«keko here (:
