We are celebrating 7 years of The Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary in Ōtaki and 11 years of our Opportunity for Animals opshops with our first ever fundraising ART EXHIBITION & AUCTION!

Where it is the purpose of science to find answers, it is a purpose of art to pose questions.

In codaMorphology, the questions that arise are about artistic choices. Just why is an artwork beautiful to us  - or not? Are accepted mathematical ideals such as the golden ratio self-fulfilling? Just where does the idea of ‘beauty’ lie? 

Dark City is a masterful collaboration between Melissa McDougall’s oil paintings  and Kiran X’s multi-media paintings featuring iconic Wellington scenes juxtaposed with cinema vixens, neon abstraction and city lights.

 KIRAN-X uses aerosol and reconstituted paints with existing weathered surfaces found in the city. Drawn to dark urbanized icons, abstraction of advertising and tech noir, his characters have become bound together by an otherworldly beat of street fonts and altered facades.

I do it is an exhibition featuring Wellington women out using real bikes for real reasons. In Wellington, up to three times more men regularly ride their bikes than women. Victoria Vincent wants to help change this, and has created a collection of empowering photographs featuring women who ‘do it’ - inspiring others to do it too. Victoria says, “The images are realistic, what you see is what you get - but the joy in their faces is what ties them all together”.

A bit about Victoria Vincent:

Kaori Izumiya and Masako K Styles, two Japanese artists living in Wellington, are having their first exhibition in Wellington. The exhibition title【Fluidity】was named to represent the adoptability to the new environment and the freeness of their artistic expression. The artists grew up in Japan but have been influenced by different cultures and people outside the country.

Artists: Jo Constable, Jeanie Randall, Kristeen Lockett, Ali Murray, Rachel Keel, Jocelyn Hendry, Anna Nelson & Maxine Edwards.

Play by Play is a week-long interactive exhibition showcasing videogames created by New Zealand and international developers. It's a great opportunity for children (of all ages) and their parents to learn about the local industry and how to get involved.

Tic Tac Toe is an exhibition of local Ngaio artists, Christen Stewart, roOm, and Holly Thomas.
All three artists work in different mediums and materials, but are connected by the challenges of being practising artists as well as busy active parents to young families. The show was born from an idea to represent the buzzing creative community of Ngaio in central Wellington, and also from the desire to comitt to an artistic deadline and support each other with finding the time to make work for exhibition.

About the Artists:

A strange, bleak, and clichéd collection of acrylic paint applied to canvas and timber.

This Exhibition is a Silent Auction. 

By decree the artist has set a ‘no reserve’ on all his art.  The pieces have been created for the intent to be loved, loathed, viewed, or owned by anyone interested.  Auction ends on close Saturday 15 April 2017 at 6.00pm.
