The Open Door
Max Gimblett 26 Jul - 16 Aug 2025 Onehunga A major exhibition of new work by Max Gimblett, one of Aotearoa’s most significant expatriate artists, is presented at Gow Langsford’s Onehunga gallery. Internationally renowned for his fusion of Eastern and Western artistic traditions, Gimblett returns with a vigorous suite of paintings that reaffirm his singular place in the history of contemporary abstraction. In this latest body of work, The Open Door, Max Gimblett returns to the canvas with a commanding series of vast multi-panelled works, along with his iconic quatrefoil shaped canvases—each a bold meditation on form, gesture, and the transcendent possibilities of abstraction. The artist’s signature materials, acrylic paint and precious metal leaf, are applied with a calligraphic immediacy that recalls the spontaneity of Zen brushwork, stemming from his Buddhist mushin (no mind) methodology.
