De Lautour / Greig / Hammond
An exhibition of recent work by Tony de Lautour, Jason Greig and Bill Hammond opens at our NG space on Madras street tomorrow. These artists have had limited opportunities to show their work since the quakes so this exhibition is well worth a visit if you have the time.
Here's a taster of some of their work.
Rainbow Warrior
It's been great to see the majestic Rainbow Warrior out on Lyttelton Harbour over the past few days.
Movie Palace Meets Art
The curtain has just come down on the films we've been showing at Alice Cinematheque – only temporarily I'm pleased to say, until next month when our next series of films start.
Holiday reading
Herman Melville's Moby Dick, first published on 14 November 1851, is a whale of a book...
Lakeside
Unsurprisingly, there are some stellar paintings of Canterbury high-country lakes in our collection.
Naughty boys
Visiting places depicted in the works in the Gallery's collection can be very rewarding, but on this occasion the reality thoroughly undid the artist's efforts.
Christchurch Hills
Keep an eye for our latest outerspaces project, Christchurch Hills 2010 - 2012 by Brenda Nightingale.
Uncanny, Canny Scot and Saint
Puerile I know, but I was astounded by the similarity of Leo Bensemann's portrait of St Francis and the Scots actor Alan Cumming.
