PAINTINGS FOR THE FOUR PLINTHS
Friends,
In February 2026, I will unveil four monumental new sculptures on the Collin Post Four Plinths, next to Te Papa Tongarewa, Museum of New Zealand. It’s my biggest and most ambitious work to date.
I’m deeply grateful to the Post Family Trust, who, through The Wellington Sculpture Trust, have contributed the first $50,000 toward fabrication. Now I need to raise more.
Today, I have a terrific offer for supporters to help me realise this project!
A fundraising suite of abstract oil paintings, in colours drawn from the palette of the sculptures.
These canvasses measure 450x350mm.
They come in five glorious colour-ways. Each piece is hand painted.
Retail, $4,000. But you can take one home for $2,000 or above - you decide your price!
All proceeds go toward the work for the 4 Plinths.
Additionally, consider my collages in oil, tape and acrylic on archival aluminium panel. Retail $1800 but today, $900. These works are generated out of the tape and oil residue from the paintings, and are standout in their own right. Same size, ready to hang, with an excellent wonkiness thats a perfect foil to the formal rigor of the paintings. They look incredible paired together. Just email me for images.
