Chain Reaction by Don Driver (1930 -2011) featured as part of his 1998 retrospective exhibition With Spirit which toured major galleries in New Zealand.
“Don Driver is regarded as one of New Zealand’s most significant and challenging contemporary artists. He was born in 1930 in Hastings, and has been resident in New Plymouth since childhood. Driver was largely self-taught, having received no formal school or tertiary art education. However, since his early beginnings as an artist he has been an astute and avid reader of modern art traditions, with his exploration into the nature of ‘art’ producing some of the most compelling and significant art/sculpture to emerge in the contemporary New Zealand art arena.
"Driver’s work has evolved along several routes as he experimented freely with both media and form. The diversity of his oeuvre has been motivated by his constant efforts to define the boundaries of art and to discover its unique ability to transform the apparently banal and everyday into something quite uniquely powerful and ‘other’.“
