Diana Treeborn - Natural Emotions28 April to 16 May Diana expresses a spectrum of our emotions through images of nature, mostly underwater settings. She believes that nature plays an essential role in our lives for growing and nourishing our positive emotions while helping us deal with our more negative darker feelings. Diana will be in the Gallery this Saturday from 2.30pm for a 15 minute talk and q and a about the ideas behind her exhibition paintings. See the exhibition online in the Current Exhibition page |
New Art
Clicking on new art pics below will take you directly to each in the New Art page. There is a good selection of new paintings in the Gallery right now, including a set of dramatic figures and faces from Peter Augustin, two stunning large flower paintings from Diana Peel, watercolours from Dianne Taylor and Joy de Geus, an Oriental Bay scene from Vincent Duncan painted using his traditional style and a small gem of a still life from Tatyana Kulida. Visitors are loving the latest waterfront scene from Ronda Thompson, where she has differed from past work by upping the intensity of her colours.

BanksyYou may have heard of the recent sale of a Banksy in Auckland for 1.45millllion. Hard to believe as it is, this was spotted in the window of Graham Moeller's studio gallery in Taupo. He won't say how he obtained said artwork but I'm sure he'll welcome all inquiries! |
