Dean BUCHANAN IS ONE OF NEW ZEALAND’s best-known ARTISTS. Don't miss
the opportunity to meet the ARTIST ON 31ST JANUARY! Dean Buchanan is
one of New Zealand’s best-known artists. From an early age he showed
talent, painting large oils that demonstrated both technical
brilliance and a close affinity with the natural world. During the
past thirty years he has become probably New Zealand’s most prolific
(and also most affordable) painter, as well as one of the most
instantly recognisable.
His paintings are found in homes throughout New Zealand, in public
buildings and galleries both here and overseas. He has also exhibited
in Australia, Japan, Chile, Switzerland and the USA. Coupled with his
creative talent is an ability to live life to the full. No shrinking
violet, 'Wild Beast’ Buchanan has always expressed himself
forthrightly, especially in defence of preserving New Zealand’s
natural environment. He has also become a mountaineer of some note,
and in January 2007 succeeded in climbing Mt Cook. Bob Harvey
interviewed Dean Buchanan extensively for this book, and describes
every facet of his life. The book also includes sixty reproductions of
some of his greatest paintings.
Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery Auckland is very pleased to announce that we
are exhibiting Dean Buchanan's Windfall Light collection till 29th
February 2019. Deans work features striking colours, that has to be
seen in person to be truly appreciated, so please come down to the art
gallery and view these amazing works.
We are also excited that Dean will be at the gallery on the 31st
January at 11am and 22nd February 1pm to give a talk about his work
and some further insight into his work. Make sure you don't miss this
awesome chance to meet him!
We sincerely hope you will be able to join us for this special
occasion. Please RSVP to fgyakl@fgs.org.nz or register online.
