“I am impressed by the high technical standard and variety of the works. It has been very difficult to choose among these many outstanding portraits.
It has been of particular interest to see how the works are following international trends at the same time as many of them have particular elements in style and imagery that refers to the special culture and environment of New Zealand.”
