Abstract revisited

NZ artist Angela Dwyer is staging two solo exhibitions in Italy in early 2007. The first is at the AMT Gallery in Como, the second at Milan’s Magrorocca Gallery. Born in Palmerston North, Dwyer has based herself in Berlin since 1984. The exhibition at AMT is based around her latest major work; a 180cm by 700cm oil entitled This is Sexy. According to the gallery’s press release, “This is Sexy challenges preconceptions about abstract painting … Angela Dwyer is a master of colour and her new work proves it.”
