12 Mile, The Breakers
Alan Pearson travelled to the Buller region of the West Coast of the South Island in the winter of 1993. At 12 Mile, north of Greymouth, the surf landlocked the artist between the waves and the forest and he focused on the tidal energy, that pounding West Coast surf which is a relentless force of creation. The abstract black and white is an ethereal illustration of the human condition, a wistful yearning, a whispered hope for the survival in the midst of this relentless force, symphonic depictions of energy. '12 Mile, The Breakers' is part of a primarily black and white series of which 'Black Tasman' in the Christchurch Art Gallery collection is one.
