Easter art in Mangawhai

 

MF-easterart1-1911: ‘Femina’ by Gitte Dibley. Travels through Greece inspired Snells Beach artist Gitte Dibley to photograph the Mediterranean waters and shorelines and ‘Femina’ was one of many paintings she created on her return home. Danish born Dibley says her father, an artist himself, encouraged her creativity from a young age and has always felt drawn towards illustrating seabirds, seascapes and landscapes.

2: ‘Illuminance’ by Sarina Khoo.

3: ‘Phosphorescent Seas’ by Susie Petersen sold on the first day of the exhibit.

4: ‘Patterns of nature’ by Ann Bolton.

5: ‘Mollyhawk gull’ by Mary-Anne Boyd. While on a fishing trip in Foveaux Strait, local artist Mary-Anne Boyd captured a southern black-backed gull’s suspension of flight on canvas. The Easter show was Boyd’s first exhibition in Mangawhai but her painting portfolio also includes portraits and landscapes created with a range of different media. Boyd was on curator duty at the Mangawhai art gallery on March 26 and recorded more than 370 visitors to the show on the day.

6: ‘Just another shag’ by Gudrun Grotzky, and ‘Across the estuary’ by Wendy Clifford frame ‘Axial moment’ by Linda Hobbs. The meaning behind the introspective-looking sculpture has two meanings for the artist, referring to ‘the stress point of the metal where it yields and bends to applied pressure’ as well as ‘the painfully truthful point before positive change occurs’.
