Artist Statement

Painted in 2020 after going top Awhitu Peninsula, West coast of Auckland to watch my friend Antoine do a photoshoot with his friend. This experience has been one of the main influences in my paintings the past two years. The landscape, horizon and sky created an infinite space for the mind to wonder; empty of the chaos of city and technological reality. It was serene. The figures in their suits, doing a commercial photoshoot in this environment, can be open to your mind to interpret.

About the Artist

Logan Moffat

Since graduating from Elam with BFA Honours in 2018, I have continued to paint, exhibiting in a number of solo and group exhibitions. In 2018 I received the New Zealand Adam Portraiture Award for my painting "Elam". I've continued to explore the portrait since. Expressing primarily in oil paint, my focus on capturing the portrait has evolved over the years. My earlier portraits were direct observations of subjects that I captured in detailed, realistic portraits. My focus now is on capturing the audience's portrait through encouraging introspection and a moment of pause - though amalgamating the elements of figures, environment, size and structure of the painting and canvas.
