“Impressive Expressionists
Opening at Roar!”
Wellington’s vibrancy is again captured with thick layers of paint by self-taught artist Vincent Duncan. Using a colour palette reminiscent of his famous namesake Vincent van Gogh he builds expressive oil paintings with knife and fingers.
Expressionist painter, Bill Allan improvises in colour and paints abstracts in a style almost musical and lyrical. Featured in Elva Bett’s ‘New Zealand Art – a modern perspective’ Bett notes, ”Bill Allan has a simplicity and directness as his brush gives fauvistic likeness to his people’s faces”
Join us at ROAR! on the opening night 5.30 – 7pm Thursday 27 January to meet the artists and share a glass of wine on Thursday. If the sun isn’t shining outside it will be inside!
ROAR! gallery is a vibrant space which aims to support and promote Outsider Art. We exhibit work by artists who have a unique, honest and compelling approach to their art practice unaffected by the concerns of mainstream art.
