=** my biography on Colin McCahon **=



Colin McCahon was born on the 1st august 1919 in Timaru and died on the 27th may 1987 in Auckland.

McCahon's best-known work are wall-sized paintings with dark backgrounds, overlaid with religious white texts.
The person who was my inspiration was Colin McCahon but i look at more of his work and thought that his work was dark and not really my thing, then i saw John Gatenby's work and found that its natural and my style of painting. So now I am inspired by John Gatenby.
