Brendan Adams 2023 30th Anniversary Group Show 2022 Bio I trained as a painter but it was colour and all the possibilities of form and texture that attracted me to ceramics, and I am still stuck in the mud! One of the great things about clay is that there never seems to be an end to what you can do with it. As someone who likes to muck around with lots of ideas, clay has been the perfect partner in crime. I really do feel I have only just started. Brendan Adams is a pottery artist and ceramic designer who has amassed a large following of clientele drawn to his creative and highly innovative sculpture and ceramic wall art (NZ). He is known for his brightly coloured slipcast ceramics, originally using Crown Lynn clay. More recently, his contemporary abstract and figurative designs have seen him include other materials such as steel, brass, aluminium, and wood. While many of his pieces are decorative, some also serve a function, as we see in his ceramic art bird feeders, candle holders, smartphone speakers, and working radios. Brendan has been making a living from clay since 1987. He and his wife Kathryn set up a ceramic shop selling affordable original art in Kingsland, which they ran for ten years. In 2013, they opened Front Room Gallery where they exhibited their own work and featured other New Zealand potters. Together, they now run Brendan Adams Designs from their home studio in Auckland. Brendan has a diploma in Fine Arts from Otago Polytechnic, where he majored in painting. He has taught at Auckland's Unitec and the Auckland Studio Potter Society (Auckland Potters). His work has been exhibited throughout the country in major competitions and exhibitions where he has won several awards, and is represented in the Auckland Museum, James Wallace Trust, and regional collections. Brendan’s domestic ware is well recognised for its pacific colours, easy kiwi attitude, and inventiveness. See inside Brendan's studio >

He works in cast bronze and hand-crafted ceramic, and has taught many classes and workshops on these mediums. I have been enthralled in the act of creation for many years now . . . [My bronze sculptures] have a textural quality that is so much a part of working with cast metals, and they show the physicality that is required to produce a finished work . . . they challenge the viewer to look, contemplate, and bring their own aesthetic sense of form and texture to the work. Bill’s earlier weird and wonderful New Zealand contemporary art featured chevron shapes in many forms, interactive wall pieces with travelling marbles, and alien or underwater imaginary creatures with spines and pods. Today, his vessels and wall plaques depict NZ seascapes and landscapes with diving gannets, soaring tūī, and swimming hammerhead sharks. His large bronze ocean scenes with historic sailing ships and waka have appeared in exhibitions and prompted several commissions. Some of Bill’s commissions include: a giant “Pelagic Chevron” public sculpture at the corner of Tangihua Street and Quay Street in Auckland City; a large, bronze interpretation of Captain Cook’s sextant; a bronze entranceway for the Wairakia Golf Course; a copper and ceramic fountain for the entrance to the Lake House Art Centre; bronze plaques for the Sir Edmund Hillary Ice Axe memorabilia case; and a sculpture of renowned art benefactor Lady Becroft’s hands.

However, the thrill of bringing it all together on a canvas can be nearly as exciting as having been there. Alan Sanders is NZ artist and oil painter specialising in ocean art paintings, seascapes, and sailing ship art. His large oil paintings of ships at sea feature traditional sailing windjammers are highly detailed and evoke the atmosphere and adventure of another era, while his racing and classic yachts capture the joy and excitement of water sports today. Alan is especially interested in the stories behind the vessels he paints. His large clipper ships, in particular, remind us of the significance of the sailing vessel as an essential part of New Zealand’s and Australia’s early history. These ships carry the stories of officers and sailors who braved the elements to bring pioneering men, women, and children to a new life in the Antipodes—“stories of courage, hardship and seamanship.” The ships that came to New Zealand and Australia had appropriate names like: Marlborough, Waimate, Waitangi, Invercargill, Waikato, and are an important part of the New Zealand story. Alan has been inspired by watercolourist J. Spurling, who illustrated a number of books on clipper ships written by Basil Lubbock. These great illustrations capture the many ships that plied the waters between the UK, New Zealand and Australia with wonderful stories that tell their histories and final fates. Nearly all of Spurling's original illustrations were lost during the blitz of London in World War 2, but Alan has used some of the smaller illustrations as a starting point for his large oil paintings. I have painted them in a much looser and atmospheric style, with my own interpretation of the sea and skies, to appeal to a more contemporary market. Currently based in Auckland, Alan's former career was in the graphic design and advertising industry. He is a life member of the Designers Institute of New Zealand (DINZ) and a founding committee member of the 'Best' Graphic Design Awards. Alan retired from the design industry and is now able to concentrate on his main love of nautical canvas art.

She is a wood carver and a sculptor working with stone carving, steel, corten steel, and cast bronze (NZ). She does her own welding for her faceted steel artwork and outdoor garden sculptures (NZ). Originally from Taranaki, Anna is now based in Benin in Africa but returns regularly to create her New Zealand sculptures. Anna has a BFA in sculpture from the University of Canterbury. In her modern sculptures, she works with themes of the female form in relation to strength and fragility, balance, identity, and symmetry. Her more abstract and minimalised forms conceal complex ideas about feminine roles and the projection of the inner self through the outer form. Anna’s works are autobiographical, using the female figure to communicate her experiences. Of her 2023 exhibition, she said: This exhibition explores the two sides of my reality from the static works portraying myself in the present form conjuring hard, but delicate lines to the light hearted, tender works which refer to memories and dream states produced from a distortion of reality and transient, personal thoughts that revisit the playful mischief and mystery of childhood. Anna is a regular participant in sculpture symposia and sculpture park exhibitions both locally and abroad. Anna has participated in (and won prizes in) international symposia in Qatar, Montenegro, Cyprus, Australia, Denmark, Romania, Albania, Macedonia, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Korea, and Costa Rica, among others. Many of her symposium pieces have been installed as public art sculptures following the event. In New Zealand, Anna was awarded first prize for her work at sculpture symposia in Rotorua (2014), Whangarei (2012), and the Coromandel (2008). She has been exhibited on multiple occasions at Sculpture Onshore (Devonport), Sculpture on the Peninsula (Banks Peninsula), Art in a Garden (Canterbury), and Shapeshifter at the Dowse (Lower Hutt). She has twice been a finalist in the prestigious Wallace Art Awards (2016 and 2018). Anna was a trustee on the board of Eco Artists New Zealand, a charitable trust that uses funds from the sales of art to help environmental projects, specifically focusing on native New Zealand species and their ecosystems. On her views about the relationship between humans and environments, Anna said: …the figure represents myself in varying states of tension and emotion but the new elements are recognising the structure, the strength, and with that the weakness of the communities we are connected to. Anna has completed many commissions of indoor and outdoor sculpture and is available for more.

Find affordable art to invest in for your personal art collection at Art by the Sea Gallery. Lindsay Crooks The Art of Everyday Life Lindsay Crooks (1957–2005) was a nationally renowned fine artist and oil painter based in Dunedin, New Zealand.

I don’t use photographs; everything’s based on what I’ve seen. Lindsay Crooks was an iconic fine artist based in Brighton, Dunedin. He was known for his bright, colourful paintings of happy beach scenes (NZ) and people enjoying typical New Zealand outdoor activities like surfing, fishing, and gardening. Around Dunedin and nationally, Lindsay was known as an ‘artist of the people.’ The following are excerpts taken from poet David Eggleton’s introduction to the book Venus on a Beach Towel (Longacre Press, 2003) about Lindsay and his art: A teacher of life drawing for twenty years, Lindsay Crooks' main subject as an artist is the human figure. His people are buoyant, jolly, life-affirming figures - their chunky body shapes worked into careful compositions which celebrate ordinary things, ordinary pleasures and the everyday world. Lindsay Crooks paints life as a kind of incessant activity. His paintings are full of movement. Figures walk with a rolling sailor's gait, or they dance, flex, stride, saunter, or they hurtle along on bicycles, dive down to seabeds and engage in frenetic beach activities… He explores the human comedy of domestic life and invests the small objects of daily life with both simple magic and comic dignity… He notices things: steam from a kettle, a cat curled up, a vase of flowers, the way snow fluoresces, the ocean view through an open door. Perhaps the primal site for Crook's studies of the figure is the beachscape… In a typical beach painting […] we will see children running towards the water, which will be alive with surfers and swimmers. Family groups will be picnicking. Teenagers gambol and frolic. The figures are solid, anchored, grounded. They grow out of the spaces they inhabit, indeed, they may be almost submerged in their surroundings: semi-transparent, camouflaged. And there is, as always, the signature knack for balanced colours and shapes—of sand tones and sea tones, of boardriders and sandsitters. Things happen in a blaze of light. Lindsay sadly passed away in 2005 after an 8-month battle with cancer. He is sorely missed. Lindsay was represented by Art by the Sea Gallery for over five years and we developed a close relationship with him. We have a list of Lindsay’s works that have come from personal art collections and that we are selling on behalf of our clients. These include signed original pastels, smaller framed original oils, and art prints on canvas and paper. A percentage of all profits will be returned to the beneficiaries of Lindsay's estate.

Her NZ photography makes us want to visit the areas and soak in the atmosphere and experience the feelings that she has captured through the camera's lens.

After losing both his parents to cancer, Jonathan emigrated to New Zealand where he met and fell in love with his now wife Julie. It was Julie who encouraged Jonathan to pursue his passion for photography. In Jonathan’s black and white photography process, the initial camera exposure is followed by what he terms an interpretation stage . Originally done in the darkroom, he now manages this on his computer with a stylus (tablet pen). He adjusts overall brightnesses, colours, and contrasts with a slow and subtle build-up of effect (called dodging and burning), taking hours or days on each photograph. This is the part of the process he loves the most. Before 2022, Jonathan's camera of choice was a Large Format Field View Camera made by the British firm Gandolfi. Resembling the plate cameras from history, this camera is made largely from wood and has a bellows. Every time he removed the camera from his backpack, Jonathan would marvel at its beauty. He would crouch under a dark cloth to focus and set up the shot. Exposures could take an hour or more. Jonathan was once asked by a young boy if he had a proper camera hidden inside, or was the outside just for show? In late 2022, in a big change, he began using two old digital cameras, one by Fujifilm and the other Leica. Whilst retaining his philosophy of making every shot count, the newer cameras offered freedom and spontaneity. Jonathan continues to create fine art photography, now with a contemporary approach in his attention to details and textures. He has a collection of photographic art at Art by the Sea Gallery and his work is found in private collections nationwide.

His long exposure and movement fine art photography capture the emotional atmosphere of landscapes, as experienced in the moment. There is poetry in Michel’s expression of art, a language that he is also beginning to express in words. A moment in indecisive movement. In between the chaos of tones and shades, an invisible flare forms from a different time and space. A moment of true stillness as the light bounces and is emblazoned across the movement. Maybe we should just ignore all that we have become accustomed to, blinded by an obvious life, stubbornly try to understand. The incandescence that is expressed through the soul of one’s self does not need to make sense. Michel Perrin was born in 1972 in Annemass, France. He spent his childhood there, close to the Swiss border. His deep interest and fascination with photography was cultivated during his teenage years. As a young man, this passion was further developed when he moved to New Zealand and was struck by the abundance of natural and wild beauty this and has to offer. The tones that resonate like a cacophony of emotions in constant motion, I narrate with shades and colours the time that passes. Reminds me of the lingering movement of a light that escapes time, a bright swirling vortex, the elements fighting each other in perfect harmony. As a professional photographer working in the commercial sector, Michel’s work has been featured in numerous NZ magazines. He has worked with a diverse range of New Zealand companies showcasing their company profiles and products. He entered the NZIPP Iris photographic competition for the first time in 2007, entering a mixture of landscape photography and portraiture. All eight of his submissions were placed and he received three silver and five bronze places. Michel’s photographic art is held in private collections across the country and he continues to work professionally as a portrait photographer.

Her fine art photography captures pockets of beauty in the everyday world: the texture of nīkau berries falling like beads down a trunk; bright citrine hibiscus flowers in a bed of blue/green leaves; or jewelled water pooling in coloured patches over a mossy forest floor. I have always been a visual creature, drawn to beautiful colour palettes and the awe-inspiring compositions created by mother nature and by artisans alike. Natalie worked for many years in a demanding career while also raising a young family. Then, in 2012, her husband Guy bought her a camera for Christmas. “I love seeing the world through your eyes,” he said, and immediately everything changed for her. From that day, she had a tool to capture and construct a world view that she hadn’t realised existed. It ignited a wellspring of self-expression, and a love affair with nature. I’m drawn to the untamed and unrelenting beauty served up by nature every day for everyone who chooses to pause long enough to connect with it. Natalie’s photographic art has been described as “a celebration of the often overlooked” but she likes to think of it like a trail of breadcrumbs, leading us back to treasure that which we have long since forgotten to see, to acknowledge, or to pay tribute to. As a botanical photographer, Natalie captures the texture as well as the vivid beauty of the flower. Each piece of her work is a microcosm of nature’s wonder: a vignette of the majesty that exists under our very noses... just waiting for us to claim it. Her art is also a subtle statement in activism. By composing and presenting each ‘unremarkable’ serving of nature, I hope to elevate the reverence and respect that our beautiful world deserves… Art is cheap, but nature is priceless. As Natalie has explained, photographing nature is a mirror for her; it is a truth and a vehicle to process, recall, and reframe the beliefs and experiences that shape her life. A camera her constant companion, Natalie is inspired by art's capacity to soothe the soul, and to change the way we see the world.
