ArtExplore Auckland: Artis Gallery. Bronwyne Cor

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.

ArtExplore Auckland: Recent Tour of Ponsonby Gall

ArtExplore Auckland: Recent Tour of Ponsonby Galleries with a large and enthusiastic group of ArtExplorers to welcome back TJ McNamara as one of our founding guides. 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.
