Brian Strong

Strong often infuses subtle historic referencing of New Zealand, including the Treaty of Waitangi in his work. His work is held in private and public collections. Brian studied Fine Arts at the University of Canterbury gaining honours. He went on to teach art then became devoted to his own art full time. His work has been exhibited in Singapore and London including the prestigious New Zealand Embassy in London. Strong explains “The serene bays are a recreational haven for many New Zealanders and tourists, and I have tried to capture the quality of light, time, space, and tranquillity that is so much a feature of our coastal environment. In a society so full of conflict and confusion, our land can offer a sense of peace”.
