Auckland, NZ.- The Lopdell House Gallery is proud to present “Peter Siddell: Paintings 1970 – 2010”, on view from July 1st through August 21st, with an opening reception on June 30th. Every now and then an artist appears who has the rare ability and passion to capture a particular place in such a unique way that the place and the paintings become locked together in our memories. As the paintings of William Sutton present such a vivid and enduring picture of the Canterbury region and the expansive Nelson landscapes of Toss Woolaston evoke their rugged terrain so strongly, Peter Siddell’s paintings over the last forty years offer a very distinctive vision of Auckland.
