"BISDEE 365 " ( August 2009 )
by Glenn Bisdee

Photographs....enhanced.  Poems....adulterated.  War stories..... exaggerated.  A dvertising photographer Glenn Bisdee takes you on a technicolor tour from the first photo he snapped and developed in '85 to fishing in Alaska to the back blocks of Guatemala;  fashion photo shoot in Hawaii to the deserts of Egypt; bird life of Antartica to a surf tour in Australia.  Life on the twisted road that brought him back to his Aoteroa homeland.

"Billboard" by Esther Schuckard - Feb 2009

"Executed in oils and directed on large-scale sheets of plywood my works negotiate the devices of architectural structure and lighting. Always slightly off key the incongruent is used to generate visual discomfort in that which appears familiar (realism).

Proceeding in a neo-surrealist genre each painting functions similarly to a theatrical stage, where the star performance is the provocation of a drama that never quite unfolds."
