Melissa McDougall's exhibition 'City Lights' was interrupted by the lockdown and extended into May. If you missed it, please visit the Current Exhibition page

Still Life in Isolation - Tatyana KulidaOpening Tuesday 2 June from 2pm to 5pm During the lockdown, one of New Zealand's finest still life and portrait artists, Tatyana Kulida, painted around a dozen small still life oils of the flora she found while foraging on Wellington's Mt Victoria, and various items, flowers and fruit etc in her home. We've turned this burst of lockdown creativity into an impromptu exhibition, Still Life in Isolation |
Social distancing rules apply so the opening will be stretched out from 2 to 5pm over Tuesday afternoon 2nd June. With limits to how many we can have in the gallery, if you'd like to come along please rsvp to alan@kiwiarthouse.co.nz and indicate a time you'll be there. We may need to do some cycling in and out with no one staying too long.
The paintings are unframed and will be priced accordingly. So with a variety to choose from and at good prices, this is a great chance to pick up one of Tatyana's beautiful still lifes. Images of all the paintings will be on the Current Exhibition page of the website by the following weekend.

Working from HomeSome of you will be experiencing working from home and getting used to the new normal, shuffling back and forth between fridge and computer! If you're spending more time looking at your walls, it might be time to invest in a Covid 19 era artwork, something uplifting inspiring or soothing, like this oil of Kapiti Island by Graham Moeller. |
