On this rare occasion join in to witness the artwork of late Wellington artist - John Waterson.
Bio:
John Waterson was born in New Zealand and grew up within a very strict catholic family. An adventurous man, he jetted over to America and spent much of his life living in 'the City of Angels'. After returning to NZ John fashioned himself a studio from an old shed and surrounded himself with all his precious artefacts he had spent his life, up to that point, collecting.
With injections of colour, gestures of sarcasm, and nods to current affairs this radical revisionist felt compelled to make, and make he did. Each one of John's art works carry a part of him. A man that put pieces of him into his work, even marking some works with his own thumb print.
The Exhibition will be open to the public everyday, choose a pint of refreshing crafty beers from tap and head upstairs for a wonder around the mind of a radical Wellington local.
