Jeffry Feeger Exhibits “Buka Market” at Whitespace

Emerging Papua New Guinean artist, Jeffry Feeger, opens a solo exhibition today (Tuesday 16 March 2010) at the Whitespace Gallery in Auckland (12 Crummer Rd, Ponsonby). Of this exhibition, Feeger says “my recent works are concerned with lives of people around me. For me it is a way of capturing truth in life. I chose to paint realism, although I experiment with texture and light and incorporate themes that are symbolic to current social issues”. Buka is off Bougainville Island where a deadly civil war raged during the 1980s and 1990s. The exhibition runs at Whitespace until Sunday 4 April, 2010.
