John Hodgman
Presented by John Hodgman
Opening Event :
Friday 5 April 2024, 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Exhibition to be opened by Ian Jeanneret, photographer, digital artist and printer, framer and previous gallery director and the music of Tasmanian guitarist, Phil Lawler, from Bach to Brouwer and from Chet Atkins to Django Rheinhardt.
This exhibition of oil and acrylic paintings by John Hodgman attempts to capture various aspects of the Tasmanian landscape.
“I have always loved the variety of scenery, from the coast to the mountains.
My involvement in environmental design, architecture, photography and bushwalking have influenced my keen interest in the continually changing environment.
The spirit of the place, the changing weather, light and the variety of locations always amazes me and has a profound impact on my feeling for this wonderful unique island.
The work is centred around my interest in the changing shapes, shadows and textures that are created by different light. I am not interested in realism and pursue an image that relies on imagination.
As a designer and conservationist, I believe in the balance between appropriate development and conservation.”
– John Hodgman
