His work represents snapshots of the laid back Kiwi lifestyle from coastal beach to suburban and rural scenes.

Possibilities
Miranda Woollett
28 July - 14 August 2023
My art is a personal journey of discovering possibilities....constantly looking at how things could be improved or reinvented...an unpredictable outcome.
When I reach a point of absolute satisfaction with what I have created, to me this is success.
So in this group of paintings, although all are based on the subject of a tree there is a diverse result of possibilities or outcomes.
I am trying to show the audience that what we see in everyday life over and over again may not be the only possibility to accept... there are an infinite number of ways of seeing or discovering things through art and science we just need to be open to seeing differently.

Phil Dickson Retrospective
24 August - 11 September 2022
One of Wellington’s most loved and outstanding artists’ Phil Dickson, sadly passed away unexpectedly on 31 March leaving behind a legacy of art for future generations to enjoy. The Kiwi Art House Gallery together with the Alfred Memelink Artspace Gallery are proud to be simultaneously showing a retrospective exhibition of his art in his honour.
Phil lived in Wellington all his life and his lifelong love and passion for the city and region is reflected in his striking watercolour and oil paintings created in his very distinctive and enduring style.
An amateur meteorologist, many of Phil's paintings were inspired by his love of the weather and the different lighting that results from Wellington’s weather mood changes. A career as cartographer helped with his painting style as it enhanced his eye for New Zealand's natural features and landscapes.
Through his interest in local history, Phil also enjoyed creating beautiful colourful paintings of historic local and familiar scenes using a selection of old monochrome photos and his memory as reference, thus bringing historic black and white photos to a new life in colour.
Phil was the author of the wonderful book titled ‘’Phil Dickson’s Wellington’’. Published in 2014, it combined his talent as an artist and as a writer. Wellington’s past and present is beautifully woven through the story with paintings of buildings, transport and social life from the 1870s to the present.

Bill MacCormick
Painting - My Life's Journey
15 June 3 July 2022
“I always loved drawing, and that was the emphasis they placed on a student at Elam in the late 1950s.
That led to a job as artist in advertising at Farmers, followed by work as artist and designer at NZ Herald, then at National Publicity Studios Wellington.
Since the 1980s my main interest has been painting.
The artists that influence my approach to art the most are the French Impressionists. The way their work responded to and recorded for the future their lives and the places they lived in.
They showed through drawing, colour and light the miracles that surrounded them. That seems to me a good approach to take in painting today.”

A Moment in Time
Claudia Grutke
16- 31 October 2021
Claudia Grutke's dreamy abstract paintings are based on emotions ideas and places.
Sometimes energetic and sometimes as peaceful as a quiet ocean, and
othertimes both in the same painting. Her work stands being absorbed over time,
not swallowed whole in one go.
Born in Germany she migrated to New Zealand in 1996 and became a full time artist in 2013
after moving to Raglan from Christchurch, where the earthquakes had been a wake up call,
a signal that now was the time to plunge full time into her passion for expression through painting.
Her paintings are now sold in New Zealand and internationally.
This is Claudia's first solo exhibition with The Kiwi Art House Gallery after showing here for many years.
Previous notable achievements include being selected for four international exhibitions in Bologna, Madrid and
Milan in 2015 and 2016 and Winner of the Artist of the Year competition in Australia in 2014.
'A Moment in Time' by Claudia Grutke
Free as a bird
Gabriel Heimler and Anna Proc
4 - 26 August 2021
Where does modern humanity fit in with the natural world? We are more and more an urban culture
and to many the natural environment of mountains and forests are only infrequently visited. In this series
Heimler and Proc reflect on our relationship with nature. Human figures are stripped of their protective
garments and pose naked in the bush, together with fauna as it is most loved by New Zealanders,
our native birds. The figures sometimes look comfortable in their surroundings, sometimes awkward,
and in that we find the essential question this series asks us to consider.
Bruce Luxford- Wellington Surrealist
July 7 - 28 2021
To coincide with the Te Papa Surrealism exhibition it is a great pleasure and timely to highlight the work of the Wellington
Surrealist artist Bruce Luxford.
The work in this exhibition includes examples from across Bruce's 20 years painting Surrealism. Bruce finds inspiration in
current events and trends and you'll find many of his paintings are his interpretation on events of the day.
Surrealism was itself an offshoot of Dadaism, a movement in the 1920s that sought to redfine art and culture away from
the society that had brought the horrors of war.
In the words of Art Historian Uwe M Schneede, who regarded Surrealism as a historic movement that took place between
1924 and 1939, and within the context of a shattered (both physically and morally) Europe as an aftermath of World War 1,
brought forth socio-political ideas as well as a wealth of artistic products.
“Surrealist art has no common style in the traditional sense. The unifying factor is the use of certain methods of approach:
aautomatic notation, the combination of incongruous elements, metamorphosis, and enigma”. (abridged)
That movement still has influence in the visual arts.
"Allowing a freer expression with my own personal interests, my work leans towards and dovetails nicely with what I would term 'figurative surrealism'
as a vehicle to express visually what I seek to convey, from observations of what takes place around us
Finding inspiration out of topical subject matter has fed the creativity.
After all, the world is inclined to manifest in a surreal, contradictory manner, full of conflicting interests and equivocal content." - Bruce Luxford
'Shrine to the Radiolarian Warrior' - Bruce Luxford
Natural Emotions
Diana Treeborn
April 28 May 16 2021
What has the past year been other than a global roller coaster of emotions? Surprise, Fear, Hope, Anger, Love, Sadness, Compassion,
all whirled together with topics like Global warming, poverty, pollution, animal cruelty, pandemics and political madness -to name a few.
Although important to know and care about, these can be a bit overwhelming and become toxic if we don’t give the same attention to
positive things in our lives. Diana expresses a spectrum of emotions in her new work through images of nature,
mostly underwater settings.She believes that nature is playing an essential role in our lives for growing and nourishing our
positive emotions and help us embrace those negative and darker feeling in our lives.

Joy De Geus - 'Footprints'
The Hedge
Gabriel Heimler and Anna Proc
28 October - 15 November 2020
A hedge can be a metaphor for the conformity of a regular life. Heimler and Proc play with this idea in their new series. The Hedge keeps us safe but at the same time restricts us.
In Gabriel Heimler and Anna Proc's 2020 exhibition The Hedge, they use the carefully tended and trimmed hedge as a metaphor for the standardisation and conformity in our lives, a standard education, a standard lifestyle. The hedge has it's own beauty and function, it protects, but protection is also a form of limitation.
In these paintings between the hedges flourish wildflowers free to grow. Metaphorical liberty, dreams, freedom from routines and our daily work. Dreams and desires that exist outside our own 'hedges'.
An extra relevance for the series has appeared with the advent of COVID. We had to isolate, protect others from ourselves, stay cordoned off, hedged in, unable to mix or travel we enjoyed life in our own bubble, behind our new unexpected hedges.
Gabriel Heimler and Anna Proc
Gabriel was born in Paris where he studied at the influential art school Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He then moved to Berlin to pursue a career as an artist. There he was selected to contribute to the Berlin Wall mural project, a series of murals painted by one hundred artists on a 1.5km long section of the Berlin wall. His mural 'Wall Jumper' portrayed a West German leaping the Berlin Wall towards an East Berlin phone box, to start making calls to buy up East German businesses. A political commentary on the events of the time. The Berlin Wall murals are now on the last
remaining piece of the wall and are an historical monument, one of the biggest tourist attractions in Berlin. Gabriel's mural was the catalyst for a successful 20 year career with a major Berlin gallery with many solo and group exhibitions. During this time he had work sold at Sothebys auction in New York, helped instigate a revival of Jewish cultural life in Berlin, and created with Anna Proc, aninternational travelling European art project 'Art Express'.
In 2010 Gabriel moved with his partner Anna Proc to Wellington where they began an artistic collaboration starting with the 'Mover', a large mural on the top right corner of QT Art Hotel. 'The Mover' celebrates the moving on rails of the hotel to its present location, to make way for the construction of Te Papa National Museum. ' The Wall Jumper' and 'The Mover' artistically link Berlin and Wellington. In 2014 both murals were selected by the Lonely Planet Guidebook as landmarks of their respective cities and featured in the Berlin and New Zeland 2014 guidebooks.
In 2019 two of their paintings from the 2018 On the Road series were selected with 19 other well known New Zealand artists o be part of the first New Zealand entry into the 8th Beijing biennale International Art Fair
Together Gabriel and Anna have created a solo exhibition every year since arriving in Wellington including, The Beehive in Cuba St 2011, Happy Pacifica 2012, Foxtrot around the Piano 2013, Shadow in the Bush 2014, Inside View 2015, Homeage to Diego Rivera 2016, All in the Same Waka 2017, On the Road 2018, Gauguin in Aotearoa 2019.

Vincent Duncan's new exhibition of themed flower art is all about creating a feeling of life,happiness and fun. Please see the exhibition catalogue here!

His work is in many homes, in Wellington hospital brightening up the wards and bought by numerous national and international visitors to the capital. His secret ingredients; joy and fun! Vincent says "My passion for art began when I was very young, it has always been a priority for me to express myself though my painting. I am a self-taught artist. By creating my own vision of what I see and experience in my city, I try to make my viewer feel good and happy. I love texture and colour. I like people to touch my paintings and feel the textured oil. I describe myself as ‘cheeky and intuitive’, painting what I see and feel. An artist has to see the world differently These things make my paintings humorous, symbolic and uniquely my own.
Gauguin in Aotearoa - Heimler and Proc
11 May - 9 June 2019
Gabriel Heimler and Anna Proc's new interpretation of Gauguin based on imaginations of his little known visit to Auckland.
Heimler & Proc, Intorduction to the 'Gauguin in Aotearoa' series
On August 9th, 1895, Paul Gauguin arrived in Auckland while on his second journey to Tahiti. During his ten days stopover there, he visited the Auckland Museum. Impressed by the Maori culture section, he made drawings of some of the artifacts he saw. Later, he would use these drawings in his paintings. Gauguin's work attempts to transcend the boundaries of place and time, to escape from the present into a cultural past in order to make an art for the future.
In our 'Gauguin in Aotearoa' series, we follow Gauguin's direction of searching for authenticity but we diverge from it too. We replace his idyllic timeless Tahitian imagery with our personal artistic approach to New Zealand unique cultural values.
Our artistic concept originates from Picasso's confrontation with the painting Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez in his series of the same title.
These inspirations brought us to:
- using New Zealand landscape along with Maori traditional symbols and rythms to bring the location and cultural background to life,
- bringing to the canvas a blend of New Zealand diversity to create dynamism in our series, an aspect that Gauguin chose to omit in his work,
- animating the figures in accordance with our style,
- re-composing and reducing some of Gauguin's paintings to unearth a new meaning - in keeping with a our personal aesthetic,
- choosing colour palettes that pay homage to Gauguin.
Nature's Silent Song - Diana Treeborn
13- 31 March 2019
Diana Treeborn's art is inspired by nature and especially the sea. Working in poured paint techniques, Diana has created mystical yet recognisable underwater worlds. Her style of abstract art is all the more impressive as she manages chaotic control to express form and her ideas.
Natures Silent Song is the story of magical underwater worlds, not seen by many of us, and with reference to the modern phenomenon of vast quantities of plastic in the oceans. As an artist Diana doesn't only work in poured paint but for this series the loose mixing of colours and free flowing quality of the technique matches her passion as a diver and observer and is a perfect fit for her to show us the surreal beauty of her underwater world.
Diana is an emerging artist from Germany who has lived in Wellington since 2015. Her painting revolves around nature themes often with a surreal element. This exhibition is her first Gallery solo show, although she has exhibited in group shows with the Academy of Fine Arts in Wellington and held her own pop up exhibition in 2018.
 
'Melting Ice' by Diana Treeborn
Retrospective Aotearoa - Gabriel Heimler and Anna Proc
13-28 February 2019
Gabriel Heimler and Anna Proc's Retrospective Aotearoa brings together paintings representing their exhibitions from 2010 when they relocated to Wellington from Europe to their most recent 2018 exhibition 'On the Road' Including examples from the 2010 and 1011 series Dancing in Aotearoa and Naked, Dark Light 2014, Shadow in the Bush 2014, Inside View 2015, Homage to Diego Rivera 2016, All in the Same Waka 2017 and On the Road 2018. In 2019 they painted a new work 'Yesterday' to represent the sold out 2013 exhibition Foxtrot Around the Piano. From 2012, The Beehive in Cuba St exhibition is also sold out and not included.
Gabriel Heimler's background as a well known artist in Berlin for 20 years, a vastly creative period that included his 'Wall Jumper' mural on the Berlin Wall, combined with inspiration from his partner Anna in their collaborative New Zealand paintings, plus the influences of new people and land in Aotearoa, has produced over eight years a new major exhibition annually with each one being imaginative in ideas and all completely different as though the artists reinvent themselves completely for every new series.
This retrospective is a chance to see paintings from the artists' earlier exhibitions that are no longer displayed, and are in most cases either the last or one of only two remaining from their respective exhibition series.
Opening 6pm Wednesday 13 February
