Stella Enting: Dedicated to Life

You can’t help but smile when you see Stella Enting’s art. They give off a positive energy and I think it’s due to Stella herself, who radiates goodness. Her first exhibition, Dedicated to Life, is at Farsite Gallery in Petone, New Zealand (in the Doreen Doolan Mall on Jackson Street, under the clock tower). In my opinion, most of the items were underpriced and she had plenty of sales. Well known New Zealand artist Shayne Tuffery also admires Stella’s creativity and her style. I can see why. Runs till June 8, 2008—well worth a visit.

Spoons!

Love the pictures - very colourful!

She’s very talented, as is her whole family. I just kept looking and smiling: not much art can do that to me.

Like it Jack. Vibrant stuff.

They are really powerful! but i can't figure out what they are in the pictures.
Or am I not supposed to think what they are?

Thanks, Karlos and Jessica! Jessica, they are slightly abstract. If I published the name of the pieces you’d know instantly so I think the idea is that we don’t know when we first see it. I also put the more complicated ones here on purpose—I liked these more!
The top one is actually balloons rather than spoons, called Celebration, I believe. The lower left one has something to do with animals and zen, from memory, and the lower right one is a scene from one of the Lord of the Rings movies (reinterpreted). I forgot what the central one is, sorry!

Oh I thought the top one was people!

That’s the cool thing with Stella’s work. I don’t think there’s a 100 per cent “right” interpretation. You’re allowed to read in what you want, provided it makes you happy!

[this is good]

Thanks, Sue. She’s incredibly talented.

Hutt Valley Community Arts and Farsite Gallery do have a website (I'm currently working on revamping it) Here is the exhibition page for Stella's exhibition.

Cool, thanks so much, Sarah!
