Art exhibition in The Heritage
A
group of Christchurch artists are combining their talents in an exhibition intended to help revitalise the centre of the city. Entitled “A Colourful New Palette for the City of Christchurch”, the exhibition opens at 4pm this Saturday (August 23) in the Art Space gallery, just inside the entrance to the Heritage Hotel, in the Old Government Building in Cathedral Square. Consisting mainly of work by Russian-born artist Galina Kim and Korean-born Min Kim, both residents of Christchurch, the paintings consist of local cityscapes, plus a few from overseas, some landscapes and porcelain sculptures. Other work included is from friends Janneth Gil, Sang Kyu Moon and Serena McWilliam. The director of Art Space, Natalia Kulanova, says this partnership of artists will help bring a fresh and familiar energy back to the city. Last Touching by Min Kim
Adding Asian inspiration Total Food Equipment held a King of Snake cooking demo in July with a selection of dishes inspired by the delicious dining destination. The much loved restaurant and bar on the Victoria Street block has an Asian twist on local produce with tantalising choices such as fried rice balls with lime cream sauce or grilled miso-marinated groper.
