Look Out
Paintings Euan Macleod, photographs Craig Potton
26 August – 15 September 2024
Look Out is an artistic collaboration that celebrates the sublimity of New Zealand’s Southern Alps by two well-known New Zealand artists. Two friends, painter Euan Macleod and photographer Craig Potton, are both drawn to the high mountains around Aoraki/Mt Cook in the central core of the Southern Alps of New Zealand. On trips together, Euan has painted and Craig has photographed, and although their collaboration is neither literal or conceptual, they are both ignited by each other’s love of these huge mountains. Look Out is their tribute to this faraway,
awe-inspiring arena, as well as a reflection on the place of art in understanding the natural world.
This exhibition is a selection of works inspired by Euan & Craig’s journey into the mountains, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. A selection are featured in the book.
