Compiled by Denis Robinson

New Zealand on Canvas is an exceptional collection featuring paintings by thirty of the country's most talented contemporary artists working in oil and acrylic media. It reveals not only the diversity among them but also the rich variety of subject matter available in this

beautiful country.

In his latest book, Denis Robinson has chosen more than 130 representative works, with two full spreads devoted to each artist. These include a personal commentary from the artist about their life as a painter. The captions, too, are written by the artist, offering insights into their style, technique and inspiration.

The book also gives the reader a visual tour of New Zealand today. The artworks, which range from mountainscapes to urban, rural and coastal scenes reflect a living country - from its majestic panoramas to intimate details observed along the way.

A must-have book for NZ art lovers and those who appreciate the beauty of the NZ landscape.
