'What you see is what you see'
Amanda Wilkinson, Simon Hunter, Kathaleen Bartha, Stan Bowski
20 April - 18 May 2024
This exhibition brought together four artists who strive for simplicity and order in their work. All are influenced by the Abstract Minimalist movement that began in America in the late 1950's. The artworks are not representative of anything else, such as a landscape or a still life. They highlight the materials the work is made from and a simple composition. The rectangle or square are favoured forms and the work relies on the qualities of repetition, line and precision.
'Majic Defends Itself'
James Robinson + Jane Tan
16 March - 13 April 24
Expressive abstraction: intensity, drama, poetic and heartfelt.
SALLY BURTON, SAM LOE, WENDY LINEHAM, KIM IRELAND
'Triumph of the Heart'
October - November 2023
A diverse collection of work by four leading women artists. Ranging from the surreal to the sublime, from hard hitting messages to the poetic, this is art with a deeper story to tell.

LAST TRACE Pale Ice Dark Light
September 2023
These works concern events perceived while walking, with responses to the different terrain of the southern alpine regions of New Zealand.
My work begins with the simple act of walking. Through this medium of walking, time, space and distance became new subjects.
