Chiara Corbelletto

A friend and an artist with an Italian background....a new exhibition in Auckland starting on November 10th.

Chiara Corbelletto is an established artist with a strong record of exhibitions, sculptural installations, public commissions and collaboration around New Zealand.

Jan Nigro

Jan Nigro is a New Zealand artist with an Italian surname, because her husband Gerry Nigro had an Italian background. She is a wonderful artist and she still likes to paint at the age of 90!!! I met her when I went to New Zealand for the first time more than 10 years ago and since then we like to spend time with her whenever it is possible and she is not too busy.

Brett a'Court

Sometime ago I have published an article on internet on Brett a'Court, while working as Senior Curator for the James Wallace Arts Trust in Auckland. I like his art!!!

Brett has worked for a long time on this artwork, but unhappy with his work has decided to retouch. The work is inspired by Masaccio's work in Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
