ARTIST MODEL: ROBERT MCLEOD
http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/culture/visual-arts/7140889/Rob-McLeod-to-exhibit-in-Wellington “A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, McLeod came to New Zealand fired by abstract artists, including Willem de Kooning and Alan Davie, so his previous City Gallery show emphasised expressionist and minimalist abstraction. But most of the work in his new show comes from the past decade since McLeod has embraced figurative painting. A good proportion features cartoon-like imagery depicted with brightly coloured oils even those with a dark-edged theme. McLeod is aware of the irony, because at the Glasgow School of Arts in the early 60s, he rebelled against its very traditional training, which included life drawing. “ "For 30 years, I wanted to be an abstract artist, but when I gave in to the figuration, all that training suddenly came out of the end of my hand. I thought, 'I actually can draw. This has actually paid off'. And I hated it at the time. I'm so apologetic to some of those teachers [I had] when I fought so hard against it." |
