Andrew Barber: 

“The small work is to the painter, as costly as the large”

19 - 27 May, 2017

Goya Curtain presents “The small work is to the painter, as costly as the large”, an exhibition by New Zealand based artist Andrew Barber.

"Rental property – something good must come of this. When a friend and I would rent outdated luxury houses that were on the market, I would lean paintings and framed works against the walls. This removed the need to make a set of decisions about nails and holes and this meta-alcoholic aesthetic (the root of which is not in a substance but rather in leaving) reminded me to enjoy that avocado green cut-pile carpet."
