Windbreak is an original acrylic on canvas (510 × 410 mm) by New Zealand artist Max Thomson. Known for his enduring connection to the land, Thomson’s formative years in provincial New Zealand deeply influence his practice, with the natural landscape a constant source of inspiration.

Max Thomson was born in Wanganui in 1945, where his family’s ties to the Whanganui River and West Coast continue to shape his work. Since the early 1960s, he has been based in Auckland and has exhibited widely in group shows, alongside six solo exhibitions.

Dimensions: 510 × 410 mm. Original artwork, one of a kind. Artist: Max Thomson (b. 1945, Wanganui, NZ)

This work reflects Thomson’s ability to distil landscape into painterly form, balancing memory, place, and abstraction. A contemplative work rooted in New Zealand’s landscape — art that carries both personal history and a sense of place.
