Dave Dyment/Roula Partheniou | We Love

The Sweetest Little Thing is an event held annually on Valentine’s Day, which features an in-person and online auction to benefit Struts and the Owens Art Gallery. 

This year includes affordably priced works by Shary Boyle, Micah Lexier, Andrea Mortson, Graeme Patterson, Kerri Reid, Jon Sasaki, Rhonda Weppler & Trevor Mahovsky and others who have appeared on this site numerous times. 

Roula and I donated this collaborative work, made last month. It is a plexiglass sculpture painted with acrylic paint and features a wooden gravity bar on the verso. 

100% of the proceeds from the auction go towards programming costs of the two galleries.

From a series of works involving convoluted and complex ‘conspiracy theory’ readings of popular films, this piece is currently part of The Sweetest Little Thing, an annual auction and event to raise funds for the two galleries in town. The Owens Art Gallery is the country’s oldest University gallery and Struts is an Artist-Run-Centre with a reputation for punching above it’s weight bringing artists to town as part of it’s renowned residency program.
