Countdown to Manawatu Art Expo
Only 8 days to go until Manawatū Art Expo begins! To count down to our region’s premier art event, we are showcasing an Artist a Day. With more than 90 exhibitors taking part in Manawatū Art Expo, these posts are just a snapshot of the range of brilliant New Zealand artists whose work will be on show between July 15 and 17.
Today’s feature artist is Andrea Connor, an artist whose work conveys the patterns of nature using layers of acrylic paint. Each time Andrea produces a work, she says learns something new about the rhythm of nature and her medium of choice, saying, “the surface is only the beginning, as there are multitudes of layers to explore.” She enjoys looking at ways to express these multitudes by combining multiple layers and combinations of colour.
Andrea’s primary source of inspiration is the natural world: the ever moving, ever-changing, ever-growing thing in which we all live. As such, her work has an organic, flowing theme at its the core.
She believes that it is the nature of art and the way of nature to push us beyond narrow realities, to find new or forgotten realms of pleasure.
If you'd like to see more of Andrea’s work, join us at Manawatū Art Expo - Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre - 15-17 July. It's only $5 to enter, and under 14s can come along for free!
