Windows
Philip Clairmont 24 Sep - 18 Oct 2025 Auckland City This exhibition considers the recurring presence of the window in the work of Philip Clairmont (1949–1984), not as a subject alone, but as a persistent and evolving motif: architectural, psychological, symbolic. Long associated with the charged interiors, mirrors, and wardrobes that defined his early breakthroughs, Clairmont’s window works open another kind of space. They offer views both outward and inward, into rooms, colour, memory, and states of mind. Read more -
Studio X
Graham Fletcher 27 Aug - 20 Sep 2025 Auckland City Graham Fletcher’s newest body of works treat the artist studio not simply as a site of production, but as a curated, self-reflexive environment. They have been inspired by Matisse’s The Pink Studio (1911), which comes from a lineage of 20th century artists exploring the studio as subject and as a charged site of introspection. Studio X presents ten paintings that operate within a layered visual and conceptual space, where tribal artefacts, modernist references, and mid-century furnishings converge. Read more -

In that stone, in that cyclone, in that leaf
Group Exhibition 2 - 26 Jul 2025 Auckland City Earlier this year, wildfires rocked the Greater Los Angeles area, destroying thousands of buildings and burning over 50,000 acres. Extreme weather events – cyclones, rainstorms and floods – are increasing with the impacts of climate change, which pose a very real threat for Pacific nations. This exhibition, In that stone, in that cyclone, in that leaf, brings together a group of artists whose practices explore and expand contemporary perspectives on place, identity and environmental concerns in Aotearoa and Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. It features the work of represented artists Shane Cotton, Brett Graham, Reuben Paterson, Patricia Piccinini, John Pule and John Walsh, with invited artists Star Gossage, Emily Karaka and Yuki Kihara, and the late influential painter Colin McCahon (1919-1987).
