Don Driver - good name for an artist

Don Driver was a New Zealand artist – mostly doing work as a sculptor but it is his "paintings" or assemblages that I really like.  Before doing art full time Driver worked as a dental technician.

Driver made an extended visit to the US in 1965 – which at that time he said was leading the world in art.

This work Zig Zag was produced immediately following that trip.  It is a purely abstract piece – a sort of collage.

He was an artist who didn't take himself too seriously.  He had a quirky sense of fun.

Don unfortunately died on 8 December 2011
