Christopher Perkins
Artwork Detail
With its bird's eye view, collapsed space, rhythmic textures this painting reveals an utterly contemporary regard for the bare bones of the back-country. Rita Angus, Toss Woollaston, Robert Field and many other artists acknowledged the impact that Perkins' fresh and heroic insights towards place had on their attitudes to the identity of a localised landscape.
