Stephen Perry – POP: spirit
Guest artist Stephen Perry is exhibiting this month at 250 Gallery from Tuesday 30 August to Saturday 16 September with his show POP: spirit. Perry's photo art presents familiar subjects in bold, dramatic ways to make the viewer re-evaluate what they know about the world.
Landscapes, lunarscapes, seascapes and still lifes are delivered with a graphic, pop sensibility that utilises deconstruction and modification as required. Pop culture meets the spirit world. Perry has been a fine-art photographer for 35 years here in Auckland, as well as Ontario, Canada. This practice has been in parallel with his commercial photography.
His work is natural environment and social justice driven, and presents in a wide range of sculptural and two dimensional ways.
In wanting to make her gallery a community friendly space, Tina has offered it as a venue for Auckland Playback Theatre group that performs monthly on a Friday night at 7pm. Next performance is on Friday 8 September, gold coin koha.
Tina has also been conducting fun art sessions on the second Wednesday of every month. Next session Wednesday 13 September. For more details about these, please contact Tina: tinafrantzen@gmail.com
