De Novo Gallery
Pictured — Artwork by Anita DeSoto
Established in 2005, De Novo is a unique and vibrant Dunedin gallery promoting contemporary New Zealand art.
3D printing has been used to create all manner of things from toys to tools to novelty knick-knacks, but the incredible Maggie Grout saw it as an opportunity to improve education for those living in poverty by using the technology to build schools.
Hunched over his well-lit workbench dotted with fiddly-looking brushes and hand tools, horseshoe-shaped stone moulds, pastes, and a microscope, Shinichiro Tsuji could easily be mistaken for a Wētā Workshop sculptor. But Shin’s steady hands aren’t whittling intricate Middle-earth special effects; they’re making teeth instead.
Exhibition of the Month
The Limitless Horizon
If painting is like keeping a diary, then the works of Philippa Blair are a personal record of the thoughts, feelings, and events that motivate, inspire, or even at times, horrify her. “I develop with the painting,” she says. “It’s as if the DNA of the painting and my own DNA somehow combine to create a new lifeform.”
We’re excited to introduce Maico Camilo to ArtSelect Gallery's audience with the opening of his solo exhibition on 26 July.
