Italy

For over 25 years International Art Centre has represented Italian based artists in New Zealand. This exhibition is a celebration of the diversity and style embodied in paintings and ceramics imported directly from their studios.

Highlights include a new series of Guffi italiani (owl) frescoes by Maestro Anselmi along with Andrea Mazzoli’s unique mixed media pieces. Carlo Mirabasso’s collection of exceptional ceramics complement Paolo Canetti’s contemporary works uniquely portraying the italian lifestyle.

Paintings by leading Australian artist Kasey Sealy, who paints and teaches in Tuscany feature in this bi-annual event, along with those of our own Simon Williams.

"These antipodean artists spent time working together in Italy. Here, they join their Italian colleagues in strengthening the creative bonds between our two lands." - Frances Davies
