“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
I have to agree with Edgar Degas.
The finishing touches to our new shop are up and they look great (thanks to our designer, Peter Bray).
Round up
Life has been very hectic here at Christchurch Art Gallery over the past few weeks so here's a quick round up of our latest Outer Spaces offerings.
Almost there...
The final paper sheet has been glued and the sealant is being applied on our newest Outer Spaces work, Tjalling is Innocent.
The beach
It seems like an age ago when Russell Clark's Japanese Planes, Rekata Bay, Santa Isabel, 1945 was purchased for the permanent collection way back in July 2010, before this town was turned on its head. One bright note is that it did make it onto the Gallery walls for a short period before our forced closure.
A bit kinky!
Customers to our new shop have been very keen on the new 'twists' in our product range.

Peter Trevelyan's exhibition Selected Proofs is currently on at the University of Canterbury's SOFA Gallery until 7th September.
