Graham PercyThe Imaginative Life and Times of Graham Percy |
| 17 Feb -22 March |
| A forthcoming exhibition at the Percy Thomson Gallery, Stratford, features the work of ex-pat artist Graham Percy, born in Stratford June 1938. .”The Imaginative Life and Times of Graham Percy” rediscovers the life and work of one of New Zealand's most talented and original artists. Graham left this country in the mid-1960s after making his name as a designer and illustrator of the New Zealand School Journal and went on to become a hugely respected artist / illustrator while at the same time producing a remarkable body of his own independent art. The exhibition has been developed by the Gus Fisher Galllery, Auckland, in partnership with the City Gallery Wellington, and curated by noted poet, essayist and art critic, Greg O'Brien of Wellington. O'Brien is also author of a beautifully produced and illustrated major publication “A Micronaut in the Wide World. The Imaginative Life and Times of Graham Percy” copies of which will be available at the gallery. This travelling exhibition is the first such comprehensive collection of Graham Percy's work and, since February 2011 when the exhibition opened in Wellington, it has been in such demand that it will feature in New Zealand galleries until the end of 2014. |
