Feminine/Abstract is an exhibition that explores abstract painting through the eyes, minds and hands of women. These artists use symbols, techniques and materials to connect with a diverse range of people, revealing a more realistic representation of Aotearoa today.

Blending two distinctive styles, Euan Macleod and Gregory O’Brien’s collaborative paintings reflect the appreciation both artists have for the outdoors, and equally, their shared curiosity about human history, and concerns...

A special opportunity to hear from Sydney based Euan Macleod, and Wellington based Gregory O’Brien on their collaborative exhibition Local Knowledge. Together, these works explore the cross general understanding that grows with the places we live in—particularly in regard to ecological, industrial and social concerns around bodies of water in Otago, Wellington and the Manawatū. 

Join exhibition curator Sian van Dyk and artists Kura Te Waru Rewiri; Peata Larkin; Claudia Jowitt and Miranda Parkers, in an insightful wander through Feminine/Abstract. Bold, unexpected and insightful, this exhibition considers how the lived experiences of women have contributed to their abstract painting practices.
