3:00pm
A discussion between Hamish Coleman and writer, gallerist, and exhibition-maker Francis McWhannell, touching on the inspirations behind this new body of work.
The Fields, a new series of paintings and drawings by Hamish Coleman.
The fields within these paintings range from farm paddocks, typical of rural-dominated Mid Canterbury, to desolate sports fields after hours, to cemeteries; places of mourning and remembrance. These ubiquitous locations are familiar to many, yet the paint in which the artist has re-presented them implies something more unearthly and intangible.
