Manawa shows
Manawa Gallery’s fifteenth show presents collages and paintings by Jonathan Auton and an installation by Alan Chant. The show will continue until Friday. Jonathan Auto'; was born in 1962, and left Palmerston North when he was 19. He has lived in Christchurch for two years, and has taught himself what he knows about art. He makes collages and paintings on surfaces like flattened tea chests. He uses thrown-away things as elements of his art. There are comic-book elements, like speech bubbles, and multiple perspectives. Alan Chant was born in Australia in 1948, and learned most about art from the painters David Rankin and Cedric Flower, and from the art dealer, Chandler Coventry. “Kulchur Kontext 1” is an assemblage of perserved pages selected from the “Australian Women’s Weekly” from 1935. His aim is to present as complete a slice as possible of the range of that magazine at that time.
