Judy Curnow
Judy's style is impressionism, bordering fauvism, enhancing the colours and tones of the natural world. Painting mainly landscapes Judy finds this genre invigorating and reaches into the core of her imagination as an artist. She is fascinated with light and its constantly changing effects.
Meeting Tim Wilson, one of New Zealand's most acclaimed landscape artists in 2009 changed her life. After viewing Judy's work Tim offered to mentor her and take her work to another level.
The amazing years spent with Tim enabled Judy's paintings to get to the level where they featured in his own exclusive gallery in Queenstown. As the value of Judy's paintings increased, so has her global profile and her work has become highly sought after in New Zealand and abroad.
Oliver Curnow
Oliver skillfully navigates the interplay of light and shade, reveling in the art of juxtaposition and contrast. This dynamic is evident not only in his motif selection, it can also be seen in his adept use of two and three-dimensional aspects. His approach is nuanced, balancing a naive charm in certain elements with the precision of hyperrealism in others.
Each of Oliver's pieces is a labour of love, requiring months of dedication to meticulously layer multiple transparencies and achieve a truly distinctive aesthetic.
Having spent considerable time painting with and studying under the late Tim Wilson, Oliver seamlessly incorporates learned techniques into his art, evident in his sky work and masterful color blending. Each piece is not just visually captivating but also an exploration of the complex nuances within our ever-changing world.
