David Ryan and Nic Moon at the Suter Gallery

The exhibition Site Rescene at the Suter Art Gallery, Nelson curated by Director Julie Catchpole features Whitespace artists Nic Moon and David Ryan and invited regional artists to respond to the rarely seen collection of nineteenth century landscape painter John Gully.

Artists selected a painting, a detail, specific sites or scenes as inspiration for their contemporary interpretation of Gullys work. Nic Moon was represented by a selection of large scale images of indigenous flies painted in cow dung recently seen at her Whitespace exhibition South, and David Ryan worked from a 1883 Gully painting called Mountain Heights to create a 6 metre long painted book.
