The artwork named “Topez Drive” was finished in 2005 and obtained by the Wallace Trust, a part of Art Heritage Aotearoa New Zealand. It belongs to a series of swimming pool paintings that also includes “Monterey Key”. The theme of pools is further explored in a woodblock print called “Log rollers”, which is available for purchase in the Prints section.

Description: Monte Carlo Key oil on canvas measuring 72x120cm. It showcases the artistic style of Collis, featuring an old hydroslide. The painterly technique used strips back the paint, giving the painting an aged look reminiscent of an old facade or a crumbling empire.
