Description

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 nor 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.
