Last year, in the James Gleeson retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia, I came across Gleeson’s painting of Delft, with homage to Jan Vermeer. I had seen this painting earlier in a private collection, and felt that Gleeson had not only captured his vision of Delft but also created an amazingly surreal new image of Delft which was a unique painting in its own right and not merely an adjunct to another artist’s creation.

  • Euan Macleod
    Euan Macleod Figure in a dissolving landscape Euan Macleod Figure in a dissolving landscape Euan and well known New Zealand photographer Craig Potton spent a few nights together near the top of the Tasman Glacier early this year. This is an extract from what is hoped will be a book and joint exhibition of their work based on the Southern Alps of New Zealand. “Euan and I have gone to the mountains for the last fifty years but only recently have we gone together. Although we sought out the same valleys and peaks we never actually met which is not surprising given that the Southern Alps is huge. Rather I remember the day, just a decade ago when I saw one of Euan’s paintings of an oversized climber on a summit ridge looking to the valley below. I already knew Euan’s work; his often solitary figures in wild landscapes with simple equipment, ice axes, ropes and boots all fused with intense energy into the oil-scapes, mindscapes of land, sea and sky that poured from his heart brush. Vivid pictures that stayed with me and one painting in particular of a man standing looking tentatively down from the summit of a mountain. He’d climbed so high. Where the hell was he to go from here? He was at the end of the line, literally, on his companion’s climbing rope and he had found a summit; and also he was now bound to make his next move. But what would be his next step in this beautiful blue but dangerous world of ice, sky and rock? How much did he long for the valley below?” Craig Potton 4 EUAN MACLEOD EUAN MACLEOD 5 Climb The sepia shadows that punctuate the alpine ridges which resembles a thread from an unstitched blanket and slopes in Euan Macleod’s recent paintings strike — an umbilical cord linking him to where he has been a familiar note with followers of his work on the far and, possibly, where he is going.

  • Lighting Fires on the Beach: Learning in Art Galleries in New Zealand
    Lighting Fires on the Beach: Learning in Art Galleries in New Zealand Esther Helen McNaughton A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education ____________________________ UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY 2019 For my father Howard Douglas McNaughton whose enduring dedication to scholarship has inspired me to pursue my own academic journey. Acknowledgements My heartfelt thanks to all the participants for their huge contribution to this research, generously sharing their perspectives and time. Without their support it would not have been possible. Over the period of 2016–2019 almost all gallery educators in New Zealand contributed in some way. The interest and commitment shown has helped me to appreciate the value of the project. Most particularly I would like express my gratitude to the case study participants who worked with me in an ongoing way, always helpful despite their busy schedules. Thank you for welcoming me into your galleries, sharing your practice and taking the time to talk with me regularly. The supervision team for my PhD was superlative and I am deeply grateful to Prof Janinka Greenwood, who provided her vast experience and wisdom, and Dr Joanna Cobley, especially for her fastidious attention to detail. I was extremely lucky to have had such a team guiding me. Besides my supervisors I would also like to thank Ian Bowell for meeting with me on several occasions, offering his insight and expertise in the area of art education. My time at the University of Canterbury was enriched by the wonderful community of doctoral students from the Research Laboratory for Creativity and Change.

  • Euan Macleod Catalogue Final.Pdf
    SELECTED ARTWORKS BY EUAN MACLEOD VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Forever renegotiating his position, direction and even the very fact of his existence, Euan Macleod is himself the central figure in the vast majority of his paintings – marching, striding, studying the ground in front of him or the canvas that rises before him like a sail. Just as the painter prods the visual field with brush or palette knife, the walking figure tests the ground; he shifts earth and snow; he moves water with hand or oar. A mark is left in the sand, a ripple, a gesture in mid-air. With its echoes and reiterations, Euan Macleod’s art reminds us that as each painting leads inexorably to the next, each journey leads only to another journey. These works are part of a continuum, an on-going labour. Collectively, they amount to one vast, many chambered, constantly evolving self-portrait. Biographical note Born in Christchurch in 1956, Macleod completed a Diploma of Fine Arts (Painting) at Canterbury University in 1979. After moving to Sydney in 1981, he held his first solo exhibition in 1982 at Watters Gallery, East Sydney, where has remained until the present. Just as his works are infused with landscapes from both his birthplace and his adopted home, Macleod has exhibited on both sides of the Tasman throughout his career. Since his Self-portrait – head like a hole won Australia’s foremost portrait prize, the Archibald Prize, in 1999, he has received numerous awards, among them the Blake Prize for Religious Art in 2006 and the Gallipoli Prize in 2009.
