Cubist V
Cubism is not a reality you can take in your hand. It's more like a perfume, in front of you, behind you, to the sides, the scent is everywhere but you don't quite know where it comes from. - Pablo Picasso
North & South
An exciting group exhibition uniting the talents of four leading New Zealand artists under the banner of contemporary cubism. James Watkins, Lance O'Gorman, Timon Maxey and Brian Dahlberg present a tour de force of accomplishment. The cubist perspective, pioneered by Picasso and Braque at the beginning of the twentieth century is an intriguing one. It's a different way of seeing. Single point linear perspective gives way to multiple viewpoints within the picture plane. Cubism brings with it a sense of the ever-new, with subject matter reduced to geometric shapes, cubes and facets. Cubist V is an exhibition of visual and artistic exploration and expansion.
