Bryan James reviews Inner
Landscapes.
Although Inner Landscapes describes the work of 15
mature artists with specific University of Canterbury School
of Fine Arts connections, Southern readers with an interest
in the fine arts will find sufficient familiar faces and
works to arouse their interest.
It's been handsomely produced by Canterbury University Press
($59.95, hbk) and consists of interviews of the artists by
Sally Blundell, accompanied by full-page colour reproductions
of their work and photographic portraits of the artists in
their studios by Diederik van Heyningen.
An essay by Justin Patron wrestling with the concept of a
"Canterbury" art completes the survey, which is a project by
the Canterbury Arts and Heritage Trust.
The artists range from "old masters" like Barry Cleavin, Don
Peebles and Philip Trusttum, absolutely secure in their work,
to some of the younger talent still in many ways exploring
unknown territory - people such as Ronnie van Hout, Joanna
Langford and Hannah and Aaron Beehre.
