The Heart of Contrast
‘The Heart of Contrast’ is a series of surreal ‘paint drawings’ that are not bound by any overarching theme or narrative but by the process in which they were created.

How we see it now is an exhibition of photography and painting by Jamie Lean and Duncan Sargent. This exhibition is an exploring of the artists reflecting upon their practices and how they function in relation to the rest of their lives. Both artists are exploring formalism as a relinquishing of control over the content of the work.
There will be a Happy Hour opening event on Monday 4th April from 5:30 - 6:30pm and a Rap Party on Sunday the 10th April from 5:30 - 6:30pm

A collection of photographs documenting the divisive protests in Wellington. Beginning with the early protests in Civic Square, all the way through to the smouldering parliament lawn and subsequent standoff with the riot police, see the growth of the movement, event by event, until its tense end.
Don’t let them in. Try let them in. Do let them in. Why did you let them in?
We listen to people who love us. We listen to people who we love. We listen to messages from community. These voices contribute to who we are and what we believe in.
But what if this isn’t neat? What if the messages are too big, too messy, too confusing?
How are we meant to make sense of it all?
The works in my exhibition 'This way, that way' have been created over the past 3-4 years. The starting point for the different series within the show explore a simple triangle pattern (Manulua) found in Tapa designs. Within this body of work, I have explored different compositional arrangements using limited forms, shapes and colours inspired by the triangle in a formalist geometric abstract style. The series includes elements of repetition & pattern, weaving, disruption, positive & negative, transparency and 2D & 3D space using the formal qualities of painting.
Exhibiting Artists; Jack Giles, Jaco Van Der Walt, Kseniia Loseva, Reshma, Kate Twomey, Lucas Niklaus, Yan Coval, Tatyana Kulida, Anton Makarov, Sam Wakelin and Tatiana Rojas-Pavón.
