All works in this exhibition are inspired by Te Waipounamu, with a large part of that inspiration coming from being in the Southern Alps during a snow storm in the Winter. Through abstract painting I have attempted to channel an essence of landscape and express how this landscape exists in and out of time. An important balance has been to allow the works to hold a sense of ‘the other side of the veil’ (multi dimensional time) yet still be grounded in this world (linear time). Sacred are the steps made between worlds, and in order to start this journey the viewer needs a way in. Being earthed by gravity can help these steps. When both groundedness and etherealness react alchemically within a canvas, the veil becomes present.
Deano graduated with a BFA from Dunedin School of Fine Arts in 2013. He has exhibited throughout New Zealand and in 2013 had 4 drawings exhibited in Paris as part of the '100 drawings for the future' exhibition.
All artworks are available to buy online here for one month after the exhibition ends
