Paul Vincent Exhibition 'Now and Then'

On until April 5 is the 'King of Quirk' Paul Vincent's exhibition Now and Then. Paul has been a creative mind and fixture of the art scene for many years exhibiting in Auckland and Wellington.

Paul likes to paint the spontaneity and randomness of everyday life. Some of his latest paintings are influenced by the cut out last works of Matisse, but in Paul's own distinctive style. The show explores another new avenue, contemplation on the beginning of the universe and also revisits past musings, particularly storytelling of life's trials by his beloved 'monsters'

Right: Homage to Matisse' by Paul Vincent

I hope you can visit to see the show or view on the website's

Support for the Malaghan Institute

In the past the Gallery has supported the Malaghan Institute for Medical Research and now they are raising funds for their Car T Cell trials I thought it's a good time to help again. Please contact me on the email below if you'd like to buy Vincent Duncan's 'Table Flowers' 50% of the proceeds will go to The Malaghan Institute and 50% to the artist.

Thanks and I hope to see you in the gallery soon!
