Don Binney - Flight Path

Featuring paintings, prints, drawings and photographs, Don Binney -- Flight Path is a celebration of the life of one of Aotearoa's most singular artists. Don Binney (1940-2013) is best known for his stylised, modernist depictions of native birds. Some of these are among the nation's most iconic and widely loved works of art. As well as featuring a number of these classic images, the exhibition honours Binney's connection with Marlborough, featuring a number of his paintings from local collections as well as works inspired by the region. The exhibition coincides with the the publication of the major monograph, Don Binney-Flight Path (released on October 19) and has been curated for the gallery by the author of that book, Gregory O'Brien
