Chris Meder was at the forefront of the sculpture scene in NZ. His iconic sculptures; 'Bosca' the Gorilla and 'Chopper Holland' the giant iconic motorbike (on permanent display in the HQ yard) were highlights of the first Steampunk Art Exhibition at Oamaru's Forrester Gallery in 2009. He also made Time Machine for that same exhibition. His works created worldwide interest and heralded the start of the Steampunk movement in Oamaru.
Sadly Chris died in 2010 and much of his work was then withdrawn from public viewing. We are incredibly lucky to have on loan a series of his best works from several sources; including a private Auckland collector, Chris' family and local collectors. (From the SteamPunkHQ website)
Wow! Chris was a maker! What an imagination. His sculptures are beautiful and imaginative works of art.
The rest of SteampunkHQ is a collection of quirky objects and, what's even better, you can touch stuff!
