Artists Salon
7 - 21 March 2016
The gallery calendar opens with the most important exhibition of works held in the last five years. Three years in the planning culminates in a showing of over 60 paintings and artworks by worldclass professional artists. The best, the brightest, the most beautiful from studios around the globe.
Special tribute is paid to the late Belgium born impressionist, Gaston de Vel whose legacy lives on in a vibrant offering of European scenes. Contemporary Italian works contrast with traditional and modern New Zealand landscapes. Wildlife bronzes and three dimensional works from studios in Assisi and Venice fulfill the promise of exotic excellence.

Lawrence Leitch b.1958
Mitre Peak, Milford Sound Acrylic on board 45 x 72 cm $10,750
In this outstanding work Leitch unites key elements of Auckland, the City of Sails. Yachts cradled ‘on the hard’ at Okahu Bay, masts silhouetted against a summer sky, pohutakawa and flax in bloom. On the horizon line, Rangitoto and North Head, landmarks of the heart and eye.

Brian Dahlberg
Kaikoura Coast Oil on board 54 x 84 cm $5,950
The Coromandel’s Opito Bay is one of Dahlberg’s favourite ports of call, one that he has revisited often and a subject which lends itself well to his distinctive surrealistic style. Here, the wide sweep of Opito Bay is surrounded by undulating golden hills between which nestles a wool shed, the only indication of human habitation in this spacious work.
Cloud Over Opito, Coromandel Oil on board 63 x 122 cm $7,950
Images of Lyttelton Harbour Oil on board 54 x 94 cm $5,950
Late Lunch, Hauraki Gulf Oil on board 65 x 181 cm $12,500
Here we have the winning combination of Dahlberg painting one of Auckland’s most recognisable landmarks, Rangitoto. After forty five years in front of the easel, Dahlberg remains New Zealand’s leading surrealist painter. When he turns his gaze, talent and brush to portraying the islands of the Hauraki Gulf, we are presented with a modern day heirloom. From a green, tree-clad foreground the eye travels across an expanse of blue to the light and shade of Browns Island. Wind-filled sails remind us of Auckland’s nautical love affair beneath a trademark Dahlberg textured sky.

Simon Williams b.1961
The Old Pohutukawa, Cliff Road, St Heliers Oil on canvas 91 x 137 cm $5,950
South Island splendor is showcased by Dunedin born artist, Simon Williams, in this large-scale oil painting. The headwaters of the alpine braided Tasman River flow from Mount Cook National Park to the Tasman and Murchison glaciers. The river flows south for 25 kilometres from the Southern Alps into the top of glacial Lake Pukaki. On the horizon, snow-capped Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest mountain completes a composition which both pays tribute and does justice to a scene of incomparable beauty.

In this latest vibrant offering Treloar delivers colour, texture, light and shade in confident, broad brushstrokes. A backdrop of turquoise, white-capped waves falling upon impasto sands of gold, re-create the nostalgia and warmth of a Coromandel summer. These are paintings of childhood days both past and present. Paintings celebrating and commemorating friendship. Treloar captures the salt-sea breeze, the warmth of the day and the focused exuberance of youth.
