Our 2011 Artist in Residence was Wellington painter Lynne Sandri. Based in Wellington, Lynne has been a full time painter for the past 14 years and is active in supporting and nurturing the Wellington art scene. She has been involved in the establishment of the Affordable Art Show in Wellington and remains as a member of the selection team and curator. Her work is held in major private and corporate collections internationally and throughout New Zealand. Lynne followed an investigation into how generations’ memories are expressed and the contexts in which they are generated. Her work expresses ideas about time and idealism and is told in stories. These stories examine generational difference, culture, identity and growing up in a working class New Zealand family. Working in both heavily textured acrylics and oil paints on various relevant supports (e.g. canvas stretched on embroidery rounds, deck chairs, light boxes, wooden rounds and traditional stretched canvases), Lynne’s work is dynamic and thoughtful. |
