The Aucklander started his career in 1980 exhibiting large abstract colour-fields before moving to structural text-based imagery. The multiple award-winner was a Walters Prize finalist in 2002 and featured at this years Biennale of Sydney. His spray-paint installation 4 Walls, 3 Layers, 2 Marks, 1 Light is currently on show at Auckland Art Gallery. The work was commissioned for the exhibition 5 4 3 2 1: Auckland Artist Projects, which counts down to the gallerys $90 million development project.
