The summer stage at Kaipara Flats is set for an outdoor exhibition of sculpture, painting and assemblage by Warkworth artist John Mulholland this month.
Hosted by Erica Kretschmar and Keith Conning in their garden at 896 Kaipara Flats Road, Sharing the Stage will also include work by other local artists.
All proceeds will go towards the purchase of new stage curtains for the Ranfurly Hall, Kaipara Flats.
Mulholland works across a diverse range of media using sculpture, found objects, painting, print and photography to articulate space, shape and language in a conceptual framework. He creates abstract works in aluminium, steel and copper, figurative works in wood and stone, and methodical, disciplined works in print and paint.
He has created artwork in support of many communities, organisations, businesses, galleries and schools, including NZ Sculpture on the Shore, Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens, Sanderson Contemporary, and the New Zealand Flower and Garden Show. He was a finalist in last year’s Fieldays No8 Wire National Art Awards and his work has found corporate and private collectors throughout New Zealand. He is currently assembling a collection of sculptural works for his outdoor artfields project in Warkworth.
A special opening event will be held on Friday, January 26, from 4pm to 6pm, at 896 Kaipara Flats Road (opposite the hall). Entry is $20.
The exhibition will then be open daily, from 11am to 4pm, until February 6. The $10 entry fee includes country teas.
