ArtExplore Auckland: A very successful van tour t

ArtExplore Auckland: A very successful van tour through the galleries of South Auckland by ArtExplorers, just days before our current Lockdown. Mangere Art Centre, exhibition: Hoea! Works from Te Tairawhiti who have been involved with Hoea! Gallery since its opening, January 2021. Each of the works speak to Whakapapa and connection from a matauranga Maori perspective. Incudes here the challenging neon work, ‘He aha te say a to quini’ – Artist Glenis Philip Barbara 2020.
Looking forward to another tour as soon as Covid conditions allow.

ArtExplore Auckland: Untitled work by Andrew Keal

ArtExplore Auckland: Untitled work by Andrew Keall, from his Doctoral Presentation Exhibition, ‘Inhabiting In-betweens: Making paintings and being Made’, Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland Uni. This is a real deep dive into the meta exploration of painting as an artistic phenomenological process. This work is strangely unique in that it follows no consistent style or pictorial agenda but you can see of elements of virtually every technique and variety of pictorial structures within the work. We are watching this artist with keen interest.
Acquired for the ArtExplore Collection just two hours before Level four Lockdown – maybe that’s something to do with the aura of this work too.

ArtExplore Auckland: Walter’s Prize: Atapo (be

ArtExplore Auckland: Walter’s Prize: Atapo (before dawn) an embracingly immersive work of huge dimensions, from the Mata Aho Collective (in this case in collaboration with Maureen Lander). It is a work in two parts – the first pictured is Hine-nui-te-po (personification of night). Behind (out of shot) Hine-titama (dawn). The construction and finely sewen joins are exquisitely crafted. The camera does in no way do it justice – if you are able, go and see it. Magnificent. Our pick for a worthy winner from four very strong finalists.

ArtExplore Auckland: Walter’s Prize: ArtExplorer’s contemplating ‘Atapo’, from the Mata Aho Collective. This view (in keeping with the controversy that always surrounds the Walter’s Prize) shows the backside of one of Michael Parekowhai’s Elephant Book Ends (not a finalist!) juxtaposed with the exquisite Atapho ahead of the group with a little reminder of Ai Weiwei’s Tate Exhibition. Will show the magnificent work Atapho in another posting.

ArtExplore Auckland: Artis Gallery. Bronwyne Cornish Artists talk to her ‘Ex Animo’ Exhibition (in association with paintings by Bridget Bidwell). Holding up a rare Tairire seedling, weaving into her narrative the secret life of native trees (well, all trees) from her garden along with her artistic life of ceramic sculpture. One of her imposing Dryad figures in foreground and Belle sculptures in background. Delightful and very insightful. We came away with one of her exquisite ‘Rabbit Guardians’ and a Tairire seed to plant in our garden.

The newly positioned Orexart Gallery with Martin Ball’s unusual study of the Pink & White Terraces - a famed , now almost legendary, tourist attraction destroyed by the eruption of Mt Tarawera in 1886. Shown here “Pink Terrace (after Valentine) (Te Otukapuarangi – Fountain of the clouded Sky’) from the exhibition entitled ‘Echo. A Brush with History’. Martin, master of the hyper real – here creates a ghostly, insubstantial, legendary image lost to history.
