Our most heartfelt congratulations go to John Pusateri for winning the emerging artists section of the 2006 Team McMillan BMW Art Awards with his lithographic print 'Huia', pictured above.
Presented larger than life and removed from any context, this extinct specimen is imbued with a surprising beauty and expressive power. One of a series of three lithographic prints of extinct native NZ birds, it is still available for sale at Seed Gallery.
All pieces displayed in the exhibition were selected by art critic John Daly-Peoples, and the winner chosen by Rodney Wilson, Director of the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
