Troy Conole’s 1.7-metre long print features a dramatic perspective up the beach with clean breakers on the left, Norfolk Pines and the surf club and lifeguard tower on the right.
Almost 56 years to the day, the first concrete was poured for Midway Surf Life Saving Club’s spanking new £18,000 clubhouse.
Due for demolition in the near future, and a new build, the club held its “last hurrah” on the weekend.
To mark the occasion the committee asked Gisborne Herald
senior creative and digital artist Troy Conole to create a work for auction. Conole’s 1.7-metre long print features a dramatic perspective up the beach with clean breakers on the left, Norfolk Pines and the surf club and lifeguard tower on the right.
“The evening was a send off for the old girl,” said committee member Tania Gray.
“We threw around some ideas for the evening and thought it was an opportune time to auction a print. It was bought by a family who have competed with Midway for years. They will donate the print to the new clubhouse when it is built.”
