Sculpture by Andrew de Boer: The Fruits of Silence

Opening in the Main Gallery as part of Artweek Auckland
Saturday 11 October 2 – 3.30pm

Duchamp’s insistence that art should be an expression of the mind rather than the hand ushered in the new era of conceptual art that, almost 100 years later, has become a major driving force in contemporary art practice.

Andrew de Boer’s project as an artist over the last 30 years has been to find ways to make art that goes beyond or transcends the mind in order to bring forth an art that is grounded in “the Good, the True and the Beautiful.”  The Fruits of Silence for Andrew is the maturation of that process.
