The Dunedin Public Art Gallery presents a new exhibition of works by Tom Kreisler, on display from September 26th 2009 - February 21st 2010.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1938-2002) Tom Kreisler spent the majority of his life in New Zealand where he became an influential painter, thinker, poet and teacher leaving an indelible presence within this country’s art community.

Tom Kreisler showcases over sixty paintings in a range of media and includes a rich spectrum of drawings, altered ready-mades and personal writings, which span a thirty-year period.

As a cultural outsider, Kreisler often produced work that disturbed or questioned notions around what might be considered the 'typical' and found the strange within seemingly mundane items: a tap, table or coat.

He was also interested in blurring the relationship between image and word (often utilizing several languages) to create darkly humorous plays on cliché and the everyday.

Toured by the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery with the support of Creative New Zealand, Aalto Colour, umbrella design and Viewfinder.
