Blast - Pat Hanly: The Painter and His Protests

"Pat Hanly was a small man with a big-hearted, wide-seeing view of the world. He was bold and brave. All through his life he painted and spoke up about political and social things that disturbed him, especially nuclear testing when France was exploding bombs at Moruroa, in French Polynesia in the Pacific Ocean. With this exhibition and accompanying book, Lobdell House hopes to engage an audience of all ages and tell a very New Zealand story of the power of art to move hearts and minds."

Lopdell House Gallery has acknowledge the huge generosity of the Hanly Family Trust, Gil Hanly, Auckland Art Gallery, Claudia Pond Eyley and private collectors who have made it possible for this wonderful collection of Pat Hanly's art to tour New Zealand's public art galleries.
