The Lane Gallery Winter Festival opens may 26

The Lane Gallery Winter Festival offers a select group of contemporary works in a unique silent auction sale.

These include significant works by Pippa Blake, Clive Humphreys, Liam Davidson, Rona Ngahuia Osborne, Christine Mathieson, Nic Moon and Michel Tuffery.

Rodney Fumpston, Margie Shepherd, Alexis Neal, and Brenda Hartill, also contribute outstanding end of edition works.

Pippa Blake’s Negro from the Amazon series is especially memorable. This powerful and dramatic landscape explores the moody shadows and colours of this equatorial environment and was a feature piece in her 2002 exhibition. Pippa Blake, the artist, is well-regarded both internationally and in New Zealand.

In the catalogue that accompanied the 2002 exhibition Pippa Blake comments, “The Amazonian landscape is daunting, vast and hauntingly beautiful. The colours are strange and different but always with dashes of brilliance amongst the darkness.”

Other artists represented include Dunedin-based Clive Humphreys whose major installation work is currently a feature of the Animal Attic at the Dunedin Museum.

The exhibition also includes sculptural and mixed media works by two other eminent artists; Michel Tuffery, whose work is renowned for its strong links to the Pacific, and environmentalist Nic Moon.

Silent auction will operate over the course of the exhibition.

This exhibition offers the collector genuine opportunity.
