Vincent Ward
BREATH
the fleeting intensity of life
Principle exhibition:
Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, December 2011

Auckland: twin principal exhibitions at:
Gus Fisher Gallery, July 2012
James Wallace, Pah House Gallery, July 2012

Capturing a frightening beauty, the exhibition conveys
the concept of ‘wehi’: where fear and awe collide.

It is a celebration of life’s intensity.

This new body of work comprises video art,
painting and 3.5m multimedia works on canvas.

Ward builds on the motion painting aesthetic, he devised
for his film What Dreams May Come, which was
recognised with an Academy Award.

His exploration into the convergence of film and painting
is at the cusp of new media development and is supported
by Creative New Zealand’s visual arts innovation fund.
