[ s p a c e ] gallery is welcoming the Catherine Mitchell Life Drawing Group for their annual exhibition of figure studies and life drawings from Friday 13 to Wednesday 25 April

Representing the human anatomy in pencil, charcoal, pastel, watercolours and a variety of media, this exhibition is an opportunity for the public to admire some of Waiheke numerous talents, to learn about a seldom presented aspect of New Zealand contemporary art and to acquire affordable original artworks.
Many in the group are professional artists who practice life drawing as an exercise and others are passionate and committed hobbyists.
Life drawing, or figure drawing is the artistic discipline of drawing or painting from a living model as opposed to drawing from a still life or a landscape or copying a photo. The model is generally “undraped”.
Exhibiting artists will includes Bruce Woods, Shonagh Byrne, Troy Carkeek, Andrea Woods, Olivier Duhamel, David Mason, Lyndsay Meager, Vern Tupper and Yolanda Whitehead amongst others. “Draw From Life” will be held at “small space” at the back of the space gallery courtyard and all are invited to attend the opening function on Friday 13 April at 6pm.
