Gallery
Stuart will “lead” a walk-through of his exhibition The Hand Of Dog, where he will discuss how his beloved canine companion Roo has played muse to his artistic output over the past 5 years.
More about Stuart Forsyth’s work:
The Hand of Dog explores the influence and contribution pets can have on their owners and their lives—in this case the relationship between Te Whanganui-a-Tara artist, Stuart Forsyth, and his three-legged SPCA mixed-breed canine companion, Roo. The exhibition showcases dog-works developed from 2017-2022, taking the viewer on a suburban joyride through the streets of love, pain frustration and guilt, and giving an insight into the artist/muse dynamic from an art practice perspective.
His exhibition The Hand of Dog is on in the gallery from 17 Feb - 17 March 2023
