The exhibition, 2x1, presents a time capsule of works that have evolved over Horstmans 19 years as a sculptor.

BVRG curator, Iain Dawson, said Horstmans started working with metal in the props department of the Matrix film trilogy when it was being shot in Sydney in the early 2000s.

“Since then he has expanded his practice to include exhibitions in his native New Zealand as well as sell out shows in Sydney and Melbourne,” he said.

“Most recently Horstmans has completed several major public art commissions in both capitals, the latter being a major structural piece in a new Collins Street skyscraper.

“After his Bega exhibition the artist is heading to China to finalise talks with an Australian architecture firm who will be bringing a bridge of his design to life in Shenzen,” Mr Dawson said.

The exhibition will run until October 3.
