A M A Z O N BOARD STORE in Parnell will play host to an art exhibition with a difference.

THE AMAZON ART SMASH 4 CHRISTCHURCH features 10 of New Zealand’s most talented and freaked out contemporary artist’s and do’er’s, - who’ve been pulled together to present a fresh, unusual, out of hand, creative, multiple medium art explosion all in the name of CHRISTCHURCH.

This is a visual connection and artistic tribute to CHRISTSCHURCH and its community that remains, on that shaky, ramped up piece of New Zealand.
The AMAZON store in Parnell is working with TRADEME along with the artists and contributors, to generate a cash contribution for the Christchurch massive, and help these buddies from this broken piece of New Zealand community:

David Read.
Dave is a photographer extraordinaire placed mostly within the world of skateboard shreddage, who has an eye for the unusual. Dave has a unique and raw take on the young team, and urban environments he shoots for the magazine he founded 10 plus years ago: MANUAL MAGAZINE.

Jay Smith.
Jay is perhaps the most hyperactive shredder in New Zealand. He is known to be skateboarding at 6.30am, and he snowboard’s waaaaay better than most. What Jay has presented for this exhibition is what his mate Dan Buckley has called an ‘art accident’, with Jay shooting some of the best Christchurch catastrophe imagery seen IN ANY MEDIA and uploading what he snapped in a relaxed fashion to facebook with some of the wiiiiiittiest commentary ever seen in the history of facebook. Ever.

The elusive BM D.
The BM D don’t want to be known, they just want there work to be shown. Good dudes/girls/whatever they are. Doing it for the CH CH buddies. ART and expression at its realest and best. - when you run it this way.

Dan Buckley.

This guy was the New Zealand street skateboarding champ back in 97, and since then he hasn’t really done much, other than start this brand called huffer, and create a few piece’s of profound art here and there, and the few piece’s he has for sale for charity here are next level positive affirmations in the extreme. “lets DO THIS ! ” he suggest’s” . - “lets GO THERE !” he implies. “what is this?” he cries.

Guy Brock.
Guy is young team to the most, freshing up the Auckland street art scene with an approach to art that spills across all mediums in a way that saiz – “I can do it all and I’m going to do it all. That’s all”

Jake Mein.
This guy is the new generation of skateboarding photographic prowess, if you have ANY INETEREST in the piece of art that is skateboarding in general, and if you are at all interested in the re-shaping of the Christchurch CBD that has gone on in recent times – and how the two things can possibly be linked, then you will be interested in the one and only JAKE MEIN.

Louise Simpson.
Louise Is a photographer that brings a super beautiful level of construction and production to her inspired photography. She works hard within her own business BIG COLOUR – which is a commercial ART maker – for a range of industry. She applies this hands on knowledge and skill in a way that her Degree in Fine art allow’s, - to her photographic snappage – which is PROLIFIC.
She applies thoughtfully created photography to unique media, in hand made and interesting ways. Glass, a range of plastic’s, - fabric and Timber all get used as the medium for Louie’s super fruity photographic projection.

Scott Gardiner.
This guy is built like arnold schwarzeneger, surfs like you wouldn’t believe, and is a THE BIGGEST name we have on board in regard to his reputation as a hot young artist on the way up in the international art scene, he exhibits wildly and world widely, and has a large following in fine art investment circles, and very rightly so, his art is particular, and deep with a strong lean towards being just straight up: “appealing” aesthetically.

Charles Howells
Charles is a skate rat from waaay back who has applied his highly refined and articulately particular sense of style to FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY. Charles has worked on a huge level – shooting the likes of Beyonce while working in New York and shooting about 1 million metro covers amongst his huge portfoilio of work, we at AMAZON are stoked to have managed to get our hands on one of his framed works of art.
