Peter Deckers at the Auckland Art Fair with Masterworks Gallery

In August Masterworks Gallery represented Peter Deckers along with artists Galia Amsel, Mike Crawford, Tegan Empson, Vicki Fanning, Paul Maseyk, John Roy, Liz Sharek and Raewyn Walsh at the Auckland Art Fair. (above and here masterworksgallery.com)

Peter also presented a satellite show at The See Here 'SATELLITE poster-work for GIVE &TAKE (Pleasure Beast)' in conjunction with his appearance in Auckland:


GIVE & TAKE (Pleasure Beast), Masterworks Gallery at the Auckland Art Fair 2011

Give & Take is a satellite installation focused on animals that are killed for entertainment. It is built around the notion that a commonly accepted sport allows the taking of a life, without any moral hesitation.
Alongside the futility of taking out an animal, this installation reflects on a human's desire for recreational violence.
These brooches act as memory tokens, actively protesting against human killing behavior, for pleasure.
The work consists of 72 brooches, most depicting carved and painted animal figures.
Carved masonite, acrylic paint, aluminium, lazertran, magnifying glasses, nails, crushed bullet cases.

explorations in contemporary jewellery and collage.

Vanessa Arthur & Ryan Maynard July 2011

Vanessa Arthur hunts the streets and urban wilderness, capturing discarded objects and materials - transforming and re-setting these into engaging wearable pieces.
Drawing inspiration from travels throughout her surroundings…often un-noticed cycles of renewal and decay, architecture, street art, construction and advertising.

Thanks Vanessa..
