Angie Dennis
English-born artist Angie Dennis moved to New Zealand in 1998 from the United Kingdom and within four years she had become a professional artist.
Angie experimented in different styles and forms of art, from nudes to abstracts and still-life before finding her niche in the beauty of the outdoors.
Given her background in environmental science, it is hardly surprising that she sees her paintings and her limited edition prints as a way of preserving New Zealand’s flora and fauna. More recently Angie has further pushed her artistic boundaries by adding a nostalgic element to her works.
Angie’s limited edition giclee works are printed by using the finest quality UV light-fast inks on archival fine art paper.
Angie exhibits her original artwork at Parnell Gallery, The Poi Room and Artport. Her limited edition prints are available through a number of New Zealand galleries.
Featured Artist
Peter Knowles
Born in Louisville in the United States, Peter Knowles started painting when he was nineteen years old.. His fascination with Pop Art is behind his reproductions of the likes of Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Keith Haring as a complement to his original works.
All of Peter’s works are acrylics on stretched linen canvas. His paintings are bright, bold and feature primary colours which complement any contemporary room décor or corporate setting. Offering a little design advice, he says “Mixing modern pop art with a traditional room setting brings a new striking and innovative look to an otherwise ordinary room.”
Peter regards his works as giving art lovers the chance to own an original, hand-painted reproduction for a fraction of the price of the Lichtenstein and Warhol originals which have sold internationally for millions of dollars.
Closer to home, Peter showed his works at the Lake House Art Centre in 2012.
