Neil Driver’s ‘Windows to North’, where a double-sash window becomes a welcoming threshold, inviting immersion into a rolling landscape bathed in golden light. A table, a chair, a cup and a saucer occupy the near edge of the interior, evoking human presence while the eye is drawn irresistibly outward across the open, undulating hills; the domestic and the expansive held together in one breath.
Artist Bio
Born and raised in Dunedin, Neil Driver moved to Central Otago in 1975. It is from this land that he derives his inspiration, with its magical light and breathtaking landscapes.
Driver is a painter of light. From landscape to still life, his work evokes serenity, calmness and effortless grace. Painting in a mixture of traditional and contemporary styles that is uniquely his own, Driver often depicts details that are generally overlooked by the human eye. This gifted artist brings life and beauty to the simplest objects, such as a shirt hanging on a chair, a tablecloth or bowl of fruit.
