Why would they look like us? - Chrys Anthemum

12th - 26th October 2022

Open hours to be confirmed

‘Why Would They Look Like Us?’ combines abstract shapes and patterns to create alien creatures, distinctly different from life on earth. It began as an exploration of the human ego, by challenging the expected imaginings of extraterrestrial life as humanoid. Removing the artist or viewer from the artwork turned out to be impossible- both Chrys and the viewer are within every painting, sculpture, drawing,and piece of embroidery.

10am - 4pm daily

"Mother and son, Anna Nielsen and Oliver Stewart, have established their separate practices over several years, collaborating sporadically. The exhibit, Travels with each/other, includes a range of work from their own catalogs, meeting in the middle with sculpture produced by Anna and painted by Oliver.  
Anna has several decades of experience producing wood sculpture and children's toys for her teaching practice, while Oliver has focussed primarily on painting and screen based multimedia.
The artists intend to combine their different fields of work into a story driven exhibit that communicates the divergent experiences of Aotearoa art and culture."

Paintings & drawings by Fiona Hayward

15th June - 21st June 2022

Daily 10am - 5pm

Realism is my preferred style of painting and drawing a single wildlife subject, sometimes with an abstract background.  My first solo exhibition held in Feb 2020 was a series of artworks I had been working on for over ten years, these were about mankind's relationship with nature & how The Line between Endangered & Extinction is in mankind's control.   

Art and wildlife are both important to me and I plan to continue with works that focus on our wildlife's beauty and some of the challenges they face in a changing climate. 

I enjoy drawing with standard pencils and painting with acrylic's as well as oils.
