'Art NZ Volumes 1-117, 1000 Heads' - Jon Jeet
Artist, Jon Jeet (Masters Degree in painting from Ilam), painstakingly produces grid-like maze artworks on paper, showcasing a curated collection of portraits from various mediums, featuring artists who have been showcased in Art New Zealand publications.
"For several years, I have been captivated by the concept of using predetermined lists to guide my artistic endeavours. These lists, compiled by others, serve as a catalyst for my creative process. My paper works showcase a curated collection of portraits from various mediums, featuring artists who have been showcased in Art New Zealand publications.
This series consists of two components: the art pieces itself, a grid-like maze that utilizes a simplified colour palette inspired by earthy tones and traditional motifs from Tapa and Kowhaiwhai: coupled with handwritten bibliographic notes documenting each portrait in chronological order." - Jon Jeet.
