Dunno Yet by Pete Wheeler

$14,000
Oil, Oil Stick and Pigment on Canvas
W1500 x H1830 mm

Thoughts from the artist: inspiration can be taken from two seemingly disparate objects/images. In this case, a Road Runner cartoon and a Victorian gate design… The beauty of painting is that it exists in its own world!

Pete Wheeler has never shied away from the big existential issues - death, politics, religion - and indeed, he brazenly wrestle them onto the canvas. The most dramatic or kitschiest imagery takes a back seat to getting pigment down on a surface in a diversity of techniques. Wheeler describes himself as a painter's painter, whose trajectory has taken his from the gothic, slacker, grunge South Island art scene to Berlin, where he drank deeply from echoes of German post-war, neo-expressionist painting.

Wheelers work is held in private and public collections in New Zealand and internationally.
