This one work by Gorman generates real energy and excitement. Here she is not doodling absentmindedly but actually controlling the compositional dynamic of her forms. With a wonderful result.

What is striking about Grattan is his confidence with a ‘European’ sensibility. His interests are unusual for a New Zealand director. It will be interesting to see if that changes in California, how he intellectually grows.

The real surprise in this show is the single canvas work of a couple of horses, with one delicately rendered as if it could be part of a fresco.

Canterbury art historian Ian Lockhead has selected an assortment of perspectival drawings created using various media. The drawings are quality artworks in themselves, especially the looser Scott and Pascoe ones which I particularly enjoyed. There are however too many, and the display is completely upstaged by the works in the adjacent rooms next door.

In her last show at Lett there were hints that Fraser was chafing at the hermeticism of the art world.
