View this post on Instagram I’m looking forward to seeing the Colin McCahon exhibitions this #McCahon100 centenary year, including his Gate III mural opening at my local @te_uru_gallery later this month. I’ve loved McCahon's art for as long as I can remember. Back in 2012, while living in Titirangi near @mccahonhouse, where he lived and painted during the 1950s, I painted Downfall (swipe to last image), which in part paid homage to McCahon’s Waterfall series. Expanding on that painting, for my 2013 Downfall Street Poster Project, I printed street posters of the painting and had them pasted-up in various configurations at many locations around central Auckland, at Phantom Billstickers sites. The images shown here are just a few of those sites. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #colinmccahon #painting #nzart #nzartist #contemporaryart #streetart #johnjohnston #jjprojects #art #artwork #artist #aotearoa A post shared by John Guy Johnston (@jjprojects) on Aug 18, 2019 at 1:58pm PDT
