The Field - Celebration
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 I have re-presented them implies something more unearthly and intangible.
In some ways, the title given to this exhibition is an intentional misdirection. Perhaps what these paintings are actually about is the candid instants of ordinary interaction – between people, places, pets. If life is about what you see along the way, the rest stops and not just the destination, then The Fields is a nod to these moments trapped in a painted white lie.”
