Through a balance of traditional and contemporary painting styles Neil Driver sensitively guides the observer toward details that might otherwise be overlooked. Each of his works carry an intense sense of human presence while the figure itself is absent from the scene. Driver’s paintings exude a timeless quality, shadow and light punctuating the scene with a gentle and lasting stillness. His works are held in private collections worldwide and in public collections at the Hocken Library, Department of Foreign Affairs, Bank of New Zealand and State Services Commission.
