I have now uploaded images from my recent Auckland street post project, ‘Downfall’. The posters were located at about 40 sites around the central city during the 2 weeks of the project, so this is just a selection that I think best represents the project.

I really enjoyed doing the project, and I’ll be looking to do more public art projects in the future. I really like the idea of doing a mural one day, if the opportunity arises.

I was particularly pleased to be able to use the billboard site at the front entrance to well known Michael Lett Gallery in Great North Road (pictured below). The rest of the 14 images from the project can be found here.

I’m now able to let you know about my public art project that has already begun in Auckland, and will run until 17 August. The street poster project, ‘Downfall’, consists of 250 A1-sized art posters placed around the streets of central Auckland at approved poster sites, where advertising posters are usually displayed.

The posters are offset prints of my recent painting Downfall, and have been placed by Phantom Billstickers. After the project, all posters will be removed and recycled.

If you happen to be in central Auckland during the project, do keep a lookout.

UPDATE: Some more images of the project are now here.

You may or may not have seen me mention this in social media over the past couple of weeks as I was preparing the work for the exhibition, but I’m happy to report that my work Signature Field 1 was selected as a finalist in the inaugural Parkin Drawing Prize.

If you would like to see the Parkin Drawing Prize exhibition, it runs from 27 July – 25 August, at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts Gallery, Queens Wharf, Wellington. All artworks on display are for sale.

Congratulations to Monique Jansen from Titirangi (where I also live as it happens), who won the $20,000 cash prize. The announcement was made at the opening of the exhibition on Friday evening. There were about 800 entries for this drawing award, with 120 selected as finalists for the exhibition.

Below is an image of my drawing in the exhibition. It’s acrylic paint pen on 300 gsm paper, 50cm x 70cm.
