This exhibition by printmaker, Anthony Davies is part of a series on the war in Ukraine.
Anthony Davies is a master printmaker who has spent time looking at the progression of the Ukraine war. His artwork, using a selection of images from the Internet, presents these events from his own viewpoint. Davies says he felt compelled to undertake this series. He speaks of a sense of injustice as he watches people turned into refugees; “the devastation of ordinary people”.
Join us for an artist talk with master printmaker, Anthony Davies alongside his exhibition WAR - What is it Good For? Anthony Davies will share what it is to be a professional printmaker. His talk will touch on his art school training, modern art schools, the time he has spent working in Aotearoa New Zealand and his work ethic.
