Medium
and Style
Brian uses collage and oil paint on paper to emphasize the mood and
contrast of form, texture and light. His work is known for the 'parchment
like' torn edge of the paper, the use of divisions to establish a
sense of time and contrast of space. He is now working with oil on
canvas and oil on linen in a variety of sizes.
Themes
Maori Heritage - Many of Brian's works document New Zealand
in relation to the Treaty of Waitangi. 'Really it is about the fact
that the land does not belong to anyone, the Treaty is about the sharing
of the land' says Brian.
The 'signature' parchment torn edges also nod towards old world, historic
documentation and how our heritage has been recorded for posterity
New Zealand - The Nikau palm, a New Zealand icon, is
used as a strong vertical element complimenting the panels of work.
It also speaks of the growth of the nation. Contrasts of light and
shade show the brooding nature of the New Zealand landscape. A strong
sense of the land is a re-occuring theme.
