CALENDAR FOR WORKSHOPS: FEBRUARY TO MARCH 2018

HENRYK SZYDLOWSKI – inspirational artist who spent many years in New Zealand as an art tutor

with Elena Nikolaeva

Henryk Szydlovski is originally from Poland, where he obtained his Master Degree of Fine Arts in 1976.

He emigrated to New Zealand two years after his graduation and for many years he painted here and lectured at Whitecliiiffe College of Art and Design. Later he moved to Australia, but has always kept his artistic connections with NZ, exhibiting here regularly at several galleries.

Though he wasn’t born in New Zealand, he is one of the most recognizable NZ names in the international artistic world. His work, like the artist himself, knows no international boundaries, as does any true art.

The integrity of Zydlowski’s work lies in his unique interpretation of line, form and colour. Paul Klee and Vassily Kandinsky are his inspirational geniuses. His art is placed in between abstraction and concrete images. Harmony in his paintings is achieved by the subtle blending of elements and brilliantly balanced compositions.

During this workshop you will create your own unique composition based on Henryk’s favourite principles: flat, stylised shapes, contrasting vibrant colours and extensive use of outlines.

Elena’s introduction will, as always, inspire us to get in there, be adventurous and have a go!

Materials you will need:
• A canvas, medium to large size
• Acrylics/oils and all your favourite painting gear
• Brushes (a bigger brush or a liner is important)
• A sheet of paper and a pencil for sketching out your composition.

One day workshop: Sunday 01 April 2018
10.00am – 3.30pm
Fee $50. NSA Members $45
