Melissa Young - Building Bridges & Harry Moores - VIVID
KINA Gallery is proud to host a joint exhibition featuring bronze works by Wellington artist Melissa Young in her show titled ‘Building Bridges’ and paintings by New Plymouth’s Harry Moores in his show ‘VIVID’. This joint exhibition opens Friday 26th March 2010.
Melissa Young’s bronze works have been described as ‘a social commentary on life, celebrating the lives of women past and present’. Her mantra this year is to ‘build bridges and move on’ and these pieces play with this theme.
New Plymouth artist, Harry Moores, describes his work as a contemporary look at portraiture. His work taps into the equivocal nature of abstraction, fusing this with lucid representations, and often, unmistakable familiarity.
BUILDING BRIDGES and VIVID is on show in the KINA gallery until the 21st April 2010.
