Drawings by Neil Cooke
Neil Cooke, a graduate of the University of Canterbury School of Art, exhibits a large number of drawings .in an exhibition of his work at The Canterbury Society of Arts Gallery. Mr Cook, who is 23 years old, held a one-man exhibition at the C.S.A. Gallery last year and the imagery presented by him then, melting organic shapes and imagined city scapes, is continued in his current display. Using biro, pencil and pen and ink with faultless ease, Mr Cooke reveals in black land white and in colour his 'private world. Four drawings — No. 17 “Man with Mirror,” and No’s •29, 32, and 33, all on an ini sect theme — provide the i only tangible awareness of an outside world and come ■ almost as a relief after such ■vast introspection. I Also showing at the C.S.A. ■ Gallery is an exhibition of posters being circulated , through New Zealand by the I Polish Embassy in Wellington. Brightly coloured and dealing mostly with circus <and film themes the posters are designed in a broadly conceived manner that makes iclear their purpose. Both exhibitions will finish on January 6. —G.T.M
