Mythology and the Land - Joy de Geus
27 September - 17 October 2017
Opening Night 6pm Wedneday 27 September at the Kiwi Art House Gallery
Myths and legends of Aotearoa as interpreted by Wellington watercolourist Joy de Geus
Joy de Geus is already well known for her watercolours of Wellington painted in her own mixed blues and greens that are so typical of the colours of New Zealand. Recently she has been painting scenes that combine the landscape with Maori legends, myths and sometimes historical stories, of local landmarks. This exhibition introduces her latest mythology paintings, for the first time displayed together, along with a selection of her tradtional landscapes.
Joy's mythology art has its own mystical feel and is something unique to her. It draws on the spirit of the land and people that we all feel as inhabitants of Aotearoa.
IdleHours -Lauryne Hart
20 July - 12 August 2017
Lauryne Hart is an Auckland based artist whose work is based on the theme 'Life in Colour'.
"My works are examples of the near infinite palate of human experience. I hope to show the rich vibrancy of shared culture that has been such an important part of my life. I portray the diversity, beauty character, vitality and emotions of people in narrative portraits. I try to draw the viewer in with form, colour and expressions".
Lauryne was born and grew up in South Africa and the influence of colour in the clothing and traditions of Africans has influenced her art as has the exuberance in living that is part of the cultural heritage of her homeland.
Her paintings also owe a debt to the art deco paintings of 1930's USA where unemployed artists (Including Diego Rivera) were tasked by the Federal Arts Program to paint murals of everyday life and workers on the walls of industrial buildings. Sir Bob Jones commissioned Lauryne to paint five large mural style panels of office workers moving through their day in front of their office buildings, for the foyers of AIG Building in Auckland and Equinox House in Wellington. A modern echo of that time in art history.

Lauryne has generously agreed to donate 5% of sales from this exhibition to the Olivier Lacour fundraising campaign for the NZ Red Cross

Watching the Old Masters -Escha van den Bogerd
16 - 30 June 2017
Exhibition Opening Friday 16 June at the Kiwi Art House Gallery 288 Cuba St - Please RSVP to alan@kiwiarthouse.co.nz
The Kiwi Art House Gallery is pleased to present four new paintings from Escha van den Bogerd's new series 'Watching the Old Masters'. These paintings evoke personal memories for the artist and for many of us, a reminder of when we first viewed that special famous painting, one we had seen in books, thought about many times and always wanted to see for real. Escha's new paintings helps us relive that moment, and to think about her characters, as they watch absorbed in their own story.
This exhibition also includes three examples of Escha's work from her figurative series.
Escha van den Bogerd is a Dutch born artist resident in Wellington. Known for her atmospheric female figurative paintings her work is sold internationally. Her new 'watching' series has already proven popular with her overseas clients and the gallery is happy to show for a short time only these three new paintings. Some of the original sold paintings in this series can be seen on Escha's page on the KAH website (under Gallery page) here
'Watching Renoir' by Escha van den Bogerd Escha at the exhibition opening
All In The Same Waka - Gabriel Heimler and Ana Proc
29 March - 19 April 2017
Exhibition Opening Wednesday 29 March at the CQ Hotel lounge 223 Cuba St - Please RSVP to alan@kiwiarthouse.co.nz
Using the imagery of the Waka as a metaphore for Aotearoa New Zealand and our journey; for we have all journeyed here or our ancestors did in the recent past, this new series of seven paintings references the cosmopolitan country we are becoming. It asks us to contemplate the importance and influence of migration, past and present, to what has made and will make our future.
The following is a quote from Daniela Gil Sevilla, cultural attache to the Mexican Embassy in Wellington, who provided literary descriptions for all the paintings in this series, for the exhibition catalogue. This description is for 'Pacific Orchestra' (acrylic on canvas 1690mm x 1000mm) below.
'A vessel for transoceanic voyages has been sighted in open waters. The great Waka Hourua guides the future New Zealanders to Aotearoa. In the canoe, Maoris and Europeans carry their own dreams and stories. Culture and art coexist in the form of a piano, and science and technology are represented by the canoe itself. The air is full of possibilities. The world is coming to New Zealand but, are there still islands on the planet? Is it the future that travels in the Waka, or just the present, the current New Zealand that slips between the waves and approaches to the world?'
Below, 'Pacific Orchestra'
Gabriel Heimler worked as an artist in Berlin for over 20 years before moving to New Zealand in 2010 with his partner Anna Proc. Together they embarked on a new artistic journey. Anna began collaborating with Gabriel on several new series inspired by their life in New Zealand, contributing ideas and painting. In Berlin Gabriel was famous for his 'Wall Jumper' mural on the Berlin Wall, in Wellington he and Anna painted 'The Mover' mural on the Museum Hotel.
Gabriel Heimler's father is Hungarian and the Hungarian Embassy in Wellington held the first public showing of the new series on March 15, at an event to mark Hungary's national day
'All In The Same Waka' has been supported by Toi Maori Arts and two paintings from the series exhibited in their Wellington exhibition of Maori Art on the 18-19 March.

Free Spirit - Jane Hyder
13 - 28 August 2016
Wellington artist and designer Jane Hyder with her second exhibition at the Kiwi Art House shows her latest paintings with an unmistakable taste and feel of the French and
Italian countryside, her inspiration for this collection. Jane's affection for the landscape and architecture of France and Italy and by the colour style of Henri Matisse and her
interpretation in the romantic style that antipodeans often view European landscapes will bring a warm reminder of travel in Europe for many of us.
Please Join us at 2pm Saturday 13 August at the exhibition opening.
Flights of Fancy - Vincent Duncan
July 13 - July 31 2016
Vincent Duncan is one of Wellington's favourite artists. His paintings are in many homes across the city and in public places like the Wellington Hospital and even the Newtown McDonalds. Some unusual facts; even though Vincent has been selling his whimsical, exuberant oil paintings for over 20 year, would be one of, if not the, the best selling Wellington artist and is in three Wellington galleries, he doesn't sell in any galleries outside of Wellington. Did you know Vincent is an elected member of the New Zeland Academy of Fine Arts?
His new exhibition wanders over whatever subjects caught Vincent's imagination, music, his favourite subject, the city of Wellington, the flowers of his Waikanae garden, and some humorous pieces like the very clever 'Counting Pukekos'. You can see them all in the exhibition catalogue

Eye on the Land - Graham Moeller
May 11 - May 31 2016

A group exhibition of gallery and guest artists. The opening is at the CQ Hotel, 223 Cuba St 6pm Tuesday 15 December. Please contact the gallery for information. The artworks will be on display at the CQ Hotel and in the Gallery until 31 January. Please visit the Current Exhibition page to view.

looks at Wellington City as a place where art, people and architecture combine in a swirling mix of imagination, gritty reality and sentiment. Simon creates this effect by combining the ultra realism of the photograph, with it's seemly perfect capture of the city's streets and buildings, with his own vision. He creates paintings from the photos where reality is blurred and imagination takes over.
Opening Friday 18 September at 5.30pm
'Heart of the City' by Simon Jay 'Beacon' by Simon Jay

Harriet Bright: Drawings and Paintings
Harriet Bright'sdrawings and paintings are a collection of the artists drawings of life models plus paintings of herself, friends and people she has met. Harriets drawings flow with the confidence of an artist who expresses the beauty of the human body with economy of effort and sympathy for the subject. Each of her drawings, done simply mostly with colour pencil, has an undeniable beauty.
In 2010 Harriet was awarded the Adam National Portrait Award prize, and this year painted portrait commissions for the Portrait Gallery, including of war historian Chris Pugsley and writer Ian Cross.
Harriet lives in Pukerua Bay, where she has just finished carving large wooden gates for the local school. She is available for commissions.

SPONTANEOUS
Bruce Luxford
With the 100th anniversary of WW1 being commemorated, and in particular the ANZAC centenary this year, it is fitting that Bruce Luxford's new exhibition of abstract and surrealism paintings concides with this anniversary. Surrealism emerged from the dadaism movement that arose during the war as a philisophical rejection of the war and the societal forces the movement considered responsible. Abstract art was new and was influential in the movement.
Bruce Luxford is a Wellington surrealist artist working from his studio and showroom in Seatoun. His subjects are often topical social and political events. SPONTANEOUS introduces a new direction, a series of paint pour abstracts, alongside a collection of new surrealism. Subjects tackled in these paintings include industrial dairy farming, sale of land to overseas interests, and poking fun at the Wellington Mayor and her drive for cycleways for the city.
Graham Moeller landscapes give his audience the impression the artist personally relates to New Zealand's wilderness. Looking at his oils you can almost feel the crisp mountain air of Aoraki Mt Cook, or the sultry warmth of the North. This exhibition showcases his best recent work, split between North and South Island landscapes. The artist's favourite places, from the Coromandel, the central plateau and the majestic mountains of the South. Graham paints from his Taupo studio gallery. You can find him in the shopping centre, painting in his window, with his gallery downstairs. He has painted full time for seven years and gradually built a reputation as both New Zealand visitors and overseas tourists have discovered his work.
Artist's Statement: "If a picture paints a thousand words then I hope that my landscapes reflect a little of me and my love of New Zealand's wonderful scenery and often, tranquil moods. Although I am a totally self taught artist, studying graphic design at Art school in Wellingtin in the 60s taught me composition, attention to detail, and the effects of light, all of which now so greatly influence my style.
All my life I have been acutely aware of my surrroundings and consequently see new and exciting views. I am grateful for the wonderful gift of successfully transposing these observations onto canvas, using oil as my medium. I not only get tremendous satisfaction from painting the landscapes but also derive much pleasure from meeting people from all over the world who share my amazement at the beauty of our magnificent and pristine scenery. To date I have paintings now hanging in private collections in New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Canada, USA, England, Scotland, Wales, Sweden, France, Germany, Switzerland, Lichenstein, Monaco and South Africa."

Four Eyes! - Colour Spies!
Vincent Duncan and George Thompson
You've heard of Five Eyes spies, now George Thompson and Vincent Duncans' four eyes are colour spies, spotting outrageous combinations of colours and creating new spectalular colour paintings that are beyond what either has done before. Even long time admirers of these two top Wellington artists will be in for a treat and a surprise as both head in new directions, in what should be seen as ground breaking exhibition for both. George Thompson is experimenting with textured canvas (spot the artist's old jeans cut up and sewn onto the canvas in 'A Harbour View' and his most edgy work yet, a cross between abstract and impressionism. Vincent Duncan is also experimenting; taking his wild fun side to create crazy Wellington street scenes in acrylic, a departure from his usual heavily textured oils he is famous for. Vincent is not usually a painter of abstracts but his 'Planets' series shows how versatile and great an artist he is. Vincent Duncan is probably Wellington's most popular artist and these paintings show why.

Shadow in the Bush
Heimler and Proc
Gabriel Heimler and Anna Proc's tribute to first nations peoples, particularly those few still living in symbiosis with nature; they who live as we once did thousands of years ago. What their future holds. How we can still recognise a part of them and their lives in ourselves when we enter our own bush. Who hasn't thought they've seen the fleeting form of a human in the dark shadows of the trees and felt as our ancestors did.
Vincent Duncan has been painting fulltime since the late 1990s. He has developed into one of the most popular, if not the most popular, Wellington artist. Vincent only shows his work in Wellington and the city is reflected in many of his paintings. His technique of applying oil paint straight from the tube and mixing on the canvas with a palette knife is unusual but not at all unique, two other well know Wellington artists use the same approach. The bold colours, heavy texture and a varnish finish gives Vincent's paintings that extra impact and they sparkle under sunlight or good artificial lights, but the reason they have been so popular is their humanity. From his lovers to boats with personalities to city and harbour scenes that dance and sway with life, Vincent's art pulsates with humour, fun and the joy of life.
'Watching Fishers Fish!' by Vincent Duncan

February 14 - March 9 2014
'Sea Surge!'by Samuel Earp
Sam Earp was born in Guernsey, brought up in England and worked in the USA before moving to New Zealand in 2009. Sam might not fit the perceptions of a traditional artist, his profession is arborist, entailing climbing and chopping trees, his interests include his electric guitar and heavy metal music but above all he loves painting the sea in motion.
Sam loves painting the sea in her most disturbed and angry moods, capturing subtle sunlight playing on water and the energy of the waves.I first saw his work by chance, when he had a studio in Dixon St. Last year a new job took him to Auckland and now he has a strong collection of work covering scenes from Auckland's west coast beaches to Wellington and the South Island. Painting is Sam's passion and it is very exciting to help him travel to the next stage with his first solo exhibition. - Alan Aldridge

'Faces of Eve Project'
Exploring the influence of women's magazines.
Opening Friday 29 November at the KAH pop up Gallery 86 Lambton Quay
Artist's statement
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”Shakespeare: from ‘As You Like It’
Faces of Eve is a series of mixed media paintings that focus on the manner in which magazines influence, or try to influence, not only what women should buy, but also what they should wear, how they might behave and the faces they should wear. Magazine articles tell about beauty products, fashion items, film stars, royalty, healthy living, drinks, men and sex, while horoscopes advise on work, leisure and relationships. A few headings from one magazine: New season Look; Fashion Stakeout; Fashion Icon; Frock Forecast; Hangover Sex; Obsession with Calvin Klein; The Who the What the Wear the Hair; Best Sex Ever; Beauty Blog. Faces are enhanced with paints and preparations for lips, eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, skin and hair. Models model ways to look: imperious, haughty sophisticated or like ‘the girl next door.’ or sexy with pouts and sunglasses.

Gabriel Heimler is well known for his mural 'The Wall Jumper' on the Berlin Wall, a painting that along with work from other artists turned a section of the Berlin Wall into an historical monument, and the last piece of the Berlin Wall still standing. In Wellington Gabriel with partner Anna Proc created 'The Mover' mural on the Museum Hotel. 'The Mover' celebrates the engineering feat of moving the Museum Hotel on rails in the 1990s. Gabriel used the same character in 'The Mover' as for the 'Wall Jumper' back in 1989, to symbolically link Wellington with Berlin, New Zealand with Europe. You can see images of these two murals on Gabriel Heimler's gallery page here

The Art Partnership is a collective of well known Wellington artists who came together to create a community of artists with diverse techniques, styles and subjects but united by a common vision; to promote art with a New Zealand and pacific focus but with an outreach to international art. Many of the six members are either new New Zealanders or first generation.
Most of The Art Partnership artists are new to the Kiwi Art House Gallery, so this exhibition is a chance for regular Gallery visitors and friends to view something completely new.
The Art Partnership artists are, Bruce Luxford, Morag Stokes, Sandra Wong, Miranda Woollett, Chris Partington, and Rosalie Jurczenko. Their exhibition includes finely detailed constructed landscapes, meticulous mind extending surrealism, structured abstracts, New Zealand bird interpretations and still life.
