Indiscreet Tourist
1-20 August
Föenander Galleries is thrilled to present Rupert Travis’s debut exhibition Indiscreet Tourist.
Rupert’s new body of work is a response to what catches our attention as we travel: people watching, sightseeing and the observations that might otherwise go unnoticed by locals.
Rupert Travis is a New Zealand-born artist who resides in Ōtautahi Christchurch. His work explores parallels between medium, materiality and subject matter, his compositions engage a mix of collected memories and image, breaking up everyday scenes and reconstructing them within a lyrical dreamscape. By linking suggested narrative to the application of paint, each work sits between the illusion of the scene it depicts and the reality of its flat surface.
