About the Artist

Exploring Modernism in a New Zealand context, Julian Dashper’s work concerns the connections between abstract art and popular culture. Central to his practice is the idea that in New Zealand great Modernist works are known largely through reproduction. Dashper reinterprets and explores artworks regarded by local culture as ‘great’. The Big Bang Theory (1992-93) for instance puts the names of major New Zealand regional artists on drumkits, as though they were rock bands.
