Today we have gallery visit to Wallace Arts Centre, it was an exciting experience that we can look through many New Zealand artists works and support the foundation of New Zealand creative art as a group.
To trace back the history of James Wallace Arts Trust and its collection, James Wallace began collecting New Zealand art in the mid-1960s, with a particular focus on the work of emerging artists. And he continues to add to the collections and provides support for the arts in New Zealand in general. Besides, Wallace’s original aim was to assist emerging artists through both patronage and promotion through exhibitions.
Furthermore, this arts centre hosts a changing programmed of free exhibitions curates from the James Wallace Arts Trust collection as well as regional touring exhibitions. The art centre will also run ongoing community education programmes which targeting around Auckland schools and the broaden public.
There are so many exhibitions and displays around the gallery first and second flours, such as different sizes of paintings, sculptures, jewels, installations, and creations. However my first impression was John Scoot who drew the men’s portrait by using the acrylic and oil paint on the large canvas, the concept which contains the emotion and similar to the three-dimensional picture, when I stood in front image it looks like the real giant pop out in front of me. Therefore, the artist has great drawing skills by using delicate drawing method and remarkable drawing technique to depict the portrait painting.
Overall, there have varieties of art displays and paintings that we can spend time to look through and can use whole day to enjoy the fascinating New Zealand creative arts in the exhibition, however, it’s the worthy of experience to discover the new of the New Zealand arts in this place.
