Leading the show is Vincent Duncan with a series of framed oils with a mostly 'Wellington bays' theme. George Thompson has a series of Wellington Houses acrylic abstracts and the exhibition introduces a new young artist, Arthur Flux. Arthur draws on his Maori heritage and paints geometric works with a pacific theme and often with a story behind them.

Kinetics - Solo Exhibition by Ilma Mitchell
Wellington artist Ilma Mitchell’s latest solo exhibition features striking, abstract acrylics on canvas. On this occasion - using a dramatic limited palette, Ilma has let her ongoing passion for colour and texture “run away with her”.
Ilma Mitchell is a Wellington artist with great amounts of creative energy and these paintings are an exploration and expression of her creativity. Ilma has several times and under three different names reinvented herself. She has painted and experimented with traditional landscapes and three distinct styles of abstracts of which 'Kinetics' is the latest. Here her work has exploded with line colour and texture in such an expressive style that you can just tell these paintings comes from deep within her.
She hopes you’ll enjoy viewing this quite radical departure from her previous style as much as she has enjoyed creating the images.
The opening is Sunday 20 September at the Kiwi Art House Gallery from 4pm

'The Fine Art of Conversation' and other New Paintings by Rob McGregor
Rob McGregor is a well known artist from Tauranga whose colourful depiction of NZ life has a wide appeal. His paintings have been spotted in many settings, as diverse as Parliament Buildings to pubs. Rob Describes himself
“I am a full-time painter living in Mt Maunganui. Bold, bright canvases depict the New Zealand I love: its landscapes, people and their leisure-time pursuits. NZ coast, flora, beach and seascapes, sunbathers, nudes, café scenes, music and yachts provide content for my canvases.
Reproductions of my paintings have proved extremely popular: many thousands have been purchased by New Zealanders and visitors to the country, who have no doubt felt associations with the same things that interest me.”
Rob's 'The Fine Art of Conversation' exhibition
“The Fine Art of Conversation” features a number of new works that explore this theme. He looks at a couple of works by Impressionist artists, Renoir and Degas, and, using the format of their “Fine Art” relates the theme to today’s world of mobile phones and magazines.
Others in the series are based on his observations of people meeting to “converse” or and share coffee or wine. These are all people-based. Supporting these works are others of interest to Wellingtonians or NZers in general, ranging from landscape to abstract.
