HODGKINS FELLOW SHOWING
Sculpture by Marte Szirmay, the Frances Hodgkins Fellow at the University of Otago, and paintings by two of this year’s honours graduates of the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts are occupying the C.S.A. gallery this week.
Marte Szirmay, a graduate of the Auckland University School of Art, became nationally known two years ago when she won a big competition to design a public sculpture for Broadway, in Newmarket, Auckland. The C.S.A. exhibition shows some of the work she has been doing this year—of which gallerygoers have had a preview in the Group Show. The two young painters whose work is on show are Helen Rockel, aged 22, and Jocelyn Wells, aged 21.
Miss Rockel has exhibited twice in Tauranga, her home town, and in two exhibitions in Christchurch —one with four other young painters, and in the “30 Plus” exhibition at the Robert McDougall Art Gallery. Miss Wells also exhibited in the “30 Plus” show, and in the “Young Contemporaries” exhibition. She has had two exhibitions in Nelson, and won the painting prize at the last universities arts festival.
