Associate Professor Leonard Bell from the University of Auckland’s art history department will give a talk on Marti Friedlander to round off the exhibition ‘Starting Point of a Complicated Story’. Bell is an expert on Friedlander’s photography and the author of several key publications about her practice. Join us at Starkwhite Queenstown, 1 Earl Street, 5pm on Saturday 14 September.

Please join us 3.00 – 5.00pm Saturday 3 August at Starkwhite Auckland as Leonard Bell discusses Marti Friedlander alongside our current show, Marti Friedlander ‘Starting Point of a Complicated Story.’ 
Leonard Bell will share his insights and personal recollections, adding richly to the visual story of Friedlander’s iconic images.

We are delighted to be supporting Diocesan School for Girls upcoming Night of Art fundraiser, 6.30pm Friday 9 August, featuring the work of over 100 artists. Gallery artists Fiona Pardington, Jonny Niesche, Gordon Walters, Marti Friedlander and Seung Yul Oh will be contributing key works, in many cases from sold-out editions and wait listed works that will only be available through Night of Art.

Please join us as artist Seung Yul Oh talks about his new direction in painting within the exhibition Beyond Forward at Starkwhite Queenstown.⁠

Beyond Forward examines concepts of depth, perspective, and translucency in paint. Some works are otherworldly with uncertain perspective and compositional depth. Others offer a more dense surface with bold, undisguised brushstrokes and high-keyed, vibrant colour palette.⁠ Join Seung as he talks about painting and unpacks the Western and Korean influences on his work. 

 

A significant body of work by Fiona Pardington, commissioned by art consultants @couplandcormackart, can be seen across guest rooms and prestige hospitality spaces at Auckland’s first 5-star Intercontinental Hotel.
