Dowling Street

'Rooftop Domestic, Back of Milford House', oil on canvas, 160 x 110cm

'Rooftop Domestic, Back of Milford House', oil on canvas, 160 x 110cm

Now 3 years since my last Dunedin show, this exhibition is a collection of paintings in, of and around about Dowling Street.

Having lived and worked on this street for 15 years the idea was to simply celebrate this colourful, diverse and very Dunedin location. Every place portrayed is within a short radius of my studio and makes for a personal idiosyncratic look at what is probably the unofficial Arts precinct of Dunedin. With 4 or 5 galleries or other art spaces on this one street, I'm sure if you crunched the numbers it would likely be the most densely populated arts area per-capita in the country. A wild claim perhaps but I think a good argument nonetheless.

I really have had a lot of fun putting this collection together. It's one those things where if you live and breath a location and have an idea for a painting, it can become so easy just to say 'I will paint that one later...' as it's literally right outside the window or front door. This exhibition pulls together the many strands and ideas about this place I call home.

Sam’s solo exhibition in Pātaka‘s small gallery presents a selected survey of his paintings with animated projections as they have evolved over the last eight years. Most are urban nocturnes but there is also a work from 2010 of the Otira Gorge in which the sparkling water cascades down the canvas. The most recent works feature landscapes from the Porirua region.
