A draughtsman, a colourist, a skillful craftsman and an accomplished artist – since graduating from the University of Canterbury’s School of Fine Arts in 1983 Christchurch artist Martin Whitworth has used paint and pencil on paper and canvas to build an arts practice that is as succinct as it is atmospheric. Using minimal lines and an often-restricted pallet he presents a strongly suggestive narrative from figurative detail, flat zones of colour, collage and sculpture.
