Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.

  • 303.893.4234 Davidbsmithgallery.Com I First Exhibited Gregory Euclide at the David B
    GREGORY EUCLIDE 1543 A Wazee Street Denver, CO 80202 tel: 303.893.4234 davidbsmithgallery.com I first exhibited Gregory Euclide at the David B. Smith Gallery in our inaugural exhibition in February, 2007. Since that time, I have been fortunate to work closely with Gregory, and observe his creative process firsthand. He has attracted attention for his complex installations, unusual dioramas, and intricate and surprising sculptures. His ideas concerning the landscape — the conflict between the real and the ideal, and between pristine nature and the inevitable impact of an inhabited world — are executed with vision and perspective. What makes Euclide’s work so attractive and so compelling is the way he uses both paint and multiple media to express his ideas. His painting is impressive — detailed and executed with great skill. But it is the way he integrates this work into unique and intriguing relief pieces that particularly challenges the viewer to engage in a dialogue about the work. Through an unusually creative use of both natural and synthetic materials, Euclide transports his viewers into the world that he has created. He examines the culture in which we live, questioning how we can simultaneously preserve the environment while maintaining the benefits of a modern lifestyle. Euclide’s world is an extension of his early experiences outdoors, time spent both alone and with his family. He developed an extraordinary ability to observe and create, to evolve his ideas on location, and bring back remnants of organic treasures and weathered waste to use in his works. He is an artist who thrives in nature, and carries his love back into the studio where he puts his thoughts to paper to make landscape art fresh and engaging.
