New Zealand on Canvas

Author(s): Denis Robinson

Art

New Zealand's scenery, from city streets to beaches, bush and mountains, is captured in the work of 30 of the country's leading painters in oils and acrylics. Oils have a long tradition in landscape and portraiture, and while acrylics is a relative upstart it is capable of rendering the country's brilliant light to stunning effect. Artist, connoisseur and dealer Denis Robinson has brought together a gallery on canvas that will inspire practitioners in oils and acrylics and delight anyone with a taste for contemporary New Zealand art.
