Within this survey of selected works from the last 12 years, Wellesley Binding invites us into a parallel world, which he calls ‘Man Island’.
Through his dark, figurative paintings reminiscent of Bosch, Wellesley explores the notion of New Zealand as an “invented European male paradise”. Dramas play out in surreal landscapes and mythologised suburbia. Not only is the complex issue of our search for a national identity addressed, but Wellesley’s own personal journey of ‘artist as lone hero’ is revealed.
Come and see this microcosm of humanity @work.
Wellesley will be giving an artist floor talk at HAstings City Art Gallery, at 1.30 pm on Saturday, November 6.
