We each can see different colours differently, for some a variation in shading and for others a change in richness. We can recognise a world with the colours inverted and follow a story told in colour while following the one told in line.

Even the dullest blue grey day leaves some colour and on the brightest of days all the saturation is stripped away, and the colour is mixed with bright white. This exhibition highlights the invisible, presents a face of entropy, offers characters to explore with and a series of abstract Wellington landscapes.

An exhibition exploring the theme of "Veil" through Japanese crafts, touring two venues in New Zealand. Focusing on the delicate and ephemeral nature of materials such as Japanese paper (washi), white porcelain, wool, and incense, visitors can experience a quiet world of expression where visual and sensory perceptions intertwine as if dissolving into the air. The concept of "Veil" symbolizes both concealment and revelation, boundaries and expansion. The works range from those with a lightness that seems to drift in space to others that engage the sense of touch.

SPLINK is an exhibition that celebrates the eclectic, experimental spirit at the heart of my jewellery practice. The title itself, a made up word, reflects my playful and intuitive approach to making - unbound by tradition and open to discovery.

The Wellington Photographic Society’s annual exhibition is a highlight of our year, bringing together the creative work of our members and sharing it with the wider public. For us, it’s not just a chance to hang photographs on the wall – it’s an opportunity to celebrate the art of photography, showcase the talent within our community, and invite others to discover what makes photography such an inspiring and accessible pursuit.

Cerys Wiles’ and Frankie Matchitt-Millar’s practices reflect light back at each other, eroding the boundaries of individual art-making to a collective, ongoing discussion. Holding between them skills of painting, drawing, installation, ceramics, performance, and writing, this duo returns discipline to curiosity, following threads of embodied practice and wide scholarly research.

Washed up is a both a reference to working as a dishie in Wellington hospo for a number of years and feeling, at times, washed up during episodes of depression. During those times, my art has been a way to escape and also to find meaning and purpose through creative and playful expression. My ink drawings are visual smorgasbord - help yourself.

Art is alive and well in suburban Ngaio.

Fee Thompson’s studio/gallery in Ngaio is a vibrant reflection of her deeply emotive and expressive art practice. Her work is rooted in the natural beauty of Aotearoa New Zealand, particularly the ever-changing skies and landscapes of Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington).

Emmerse yourself in a lush collection of still life oil paintings by reputable artist Jonette Murray. For one week only, with over 30 pieces available, this is an opportunity not to be missed! The exhibition is made up of new and unseen works, completed over the last 2 - 3years. You will see several series that explore colour, composition, brushwork and form, as well as dive into some more contemporary visions of still life with strong symbolist narratives.

"I feel that all the works I have created so far connect to the theme of OTOGI. Inside each being, there is a small world and a story.

When I observe the forms and movements of living things, and the rhythms and connections hidden within, I sense layers overlapping like patterns, shaping the Earth itself. Though often unseen, I gently capture these 'otogi'-like moments – delicate landscapes that quietly exist all around us."
