Katharina Grosse
4 Pins
Katharina Grosse / Katharina Grosse is one of the most inventive and intriguing painters working today. Through a fusion of painting with architecture and sculpture, Grosse produces a physically immersive experience for the viewer, choosing to work directly onto walls and objects using an industrial spray gun. Her spray painted works enliven surfaces as vast and unorthodox as building exteriors.
Martin Ball
1 Pin
Martin Ball / Martin Ball is renowned for his hyper-realist, large-scale painted portraits of recent years. These works represent a culmination of Ball’s ongoing interest in portraiture and realism that has spanned more than three decades. Ball has focused on a variety of subject matter since the early stages of his career including landscape, still-life and portraiture.
Paul Dibble
2 Pins
Paul Dibble / Paul Dibble started making works in a make-shift workshop in the shed at the end of their property in the late 1970s and, as his career gained momentum, moved to an industrial warehouse in the mid-1990s before establishing his own foundry in 2000. Since then Dibble has cast his work with the help of a small team of highly skilled assistants - one of very few New Zealand sculptors to cast their own bronze works.
Jono Rotman
2 Pins
Jono Rotman / New Zealand-born Jono Rotman divides his time between New Zealand and America. In his often unsettling images he mines edge states and points of transition. His work explores the continuing cataclysm of colonization, and the collision of civilization and the natural world. Among his subjects in New Zealand are sites of incarceration and gangs. In America, he is exploring the decline of empire. His often large-scale works of subjects great and terrible are a controlled meditation on the sublime.
Laurence Aberhart
2 Pins
Laurence Aberhart / Laurence Aberhart is increasingly recognised as New Zealand’s most eminent photographer. His signature images of landscapes, facades, monuments and interiors are entrenched in this country’s art history. Not only are his images steeped the history of the subjects that he portrays but of his chosen medium – a vintage view camera.
Lisa Roet
5 Pins
Lisa Roet / Melbourne-based sculptor Lisa Roet has won acclaim in Australia and internationally for her powerful investigations into the complex interface between humans and our simian relatives. Drawing inspiration from a myriad of sources including residencies at major international zoos, her multidisciplinary approach challenges fundamental scientific and behavioural theories relating to human evolution and creationism, and the relationship between humans and ‘other’ primates.
Bernar Venet
5 Pins
Bernar Venet / Throughout his career, Bernar Venet has made pioneering contributions to the discourse of sculptural practice and has emerged one of the most significant artists of his generation. Notable highpoints include a solo exhibition Venet à Versailles at The Palace of Versailles, Château de Marly, France (2011), following which the French postal service issued a commemorative stamp of the artist’s 22-metre Vertical Arcs that were included in the exhibition.
Dale Frank
9 Pins
Dale Frank / Australian artist Dale Frank is a painter known for his evocative abstract works challenging the concept of painting. He is one of Australia’s most successful artists. His works, the results of a practice of more than 35 years, is aligned with some of the most exciting and innovative contemporary painters of today. His works are held in major collections worldwide including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Kunsthaus, Zurich and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.
André Hemer
13 Pins
André Hemer / André Hemer‘s paintings are like painted artefacts of the digital world. His typically bright abstract works combine elements of digital experience with traditional painting. His work is on the cover of Thames and Hudson’s publication 100 Painters of Tomorrow (2014). The book uncovered the world’s most promising painters from more than 30 countries. He was also named by The Guardian newspaper as one of their top ten favourites to watch.
Graham Fletcher
10 Pins
Graham Fletcher / Graham Fletcher's work explores the critical legacy of the widespread European tradition of housing collections of Oceanic and African Tribal art in domestic settings. Of particular relevance, to an artist of mixed Samoan and European heritage, is the question of how this legacy might be appropriated and subverted within a contemporary Pacific and New Zealand context.
John Walsh
15 Pins
John Walsh / Characterised by a distinctively vibrant palette of aqua and green hues, a cast of lyrical hybrid characters and expressive brushwork, painter John Walsh has an established reputation in New Zealand. His works are a solid fixture in many public and private collections throughout the country including the James Wallace Collection, Te Papa Tongarewa, the Sargeant Gallery Collection and the Jean Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre Collection in Noumea, New Caledonia.
Alex Monteith
9 Pins
Alex Monteith / Alex Monteith’s works are made amidst contemporary sports, culture and social activities, often taking place in large-scale or extreme geographies. Through actions, performances, situations and time-based media such as film, video and sound, the works explore territorial, political and physical thresholds. Through her work, Monteith penetrates the physical and psychological space of individual and collective performative action.
Antonio Murado
10 Pins
Antonio Murado / Antonio Murado is an extraordinarily versatile painter with his works ranging from heavily textured impasto dirges to melodious arias, always demonstrating his virtuosity with materials and skill at creating subtle painterly effect. In his paintings Murado displays a range of techniques with stunning results. Using various methods to blow liquid paint across pale scrims of brushed on, semi-transparent colour, the blown paint creates vaguely petal like forms that float over veil-like cooler hues.
Gregor Kregar
8 Pins
Gregor Kregar / Reflecting his broad range of subject matters, Gregor Kregar's oeuvre encompasses an extensive and unique array of media that ranges from stainless steel, glazed porcelain, lambda print photography, and found objects such as recycled timber and neon lighting, that inevitably make the audience question their role as the viewer.
Simon Ingram
46 Pins
Simon Ingram / Simon Ingram's work exists in the situations and painted outcomes of a collaboration between the artist, an apparatus, and our life world. The Radio Paintings materialise unseen forces from the ground, the atmosphere, space, which are collected via antennae the artist constructs and connects to his machines.
Judy Millar
19 Pins
Judy Millar / Judy Millar is one of New Zealand’s most internationally recognised artists. Since 2005 she has shared her time between Auckland and Berlin and has a significant reputation in Europe, which continues to gain momentum.

David McCracken
8 Pins

In 2013 he was recipient of the Parsons & Brinckerhoff Award for Excellence in Engineering at Headland Sculpture on the Gulf and winner of the Wallace Arts Trust NZ Sculpture Award.
James Cousins
10 Pins
James Cousins / An enquiry into warranting what counts as painting is central to James Cousins' practice. Via a compounded layering of process and procedure: deliberate declarations of paint, support and surface, elaborate systematised patterns and unmediated spontaneous acts, Cousins' works simultaneously expose and mask the trail of decisions central to their creation.
Max Gimblett
16 Pins
Max Gimblett / Max Gimblett is one of New Zealand’s most recognised painters. His philosophies and practices encompass influences as varied as Abstract Expressionism, Modernism, Eastern and Western spiritual beliefs, Jungian psychology and ancient cultures. He has been based in New York since the early 1970s and continues to exhibit regularly in the US and throughout New Zealand.
Jan de Vliegher
4 Pins
Jan de Vliegher / Belgian painter Jan De Vliegher is known for his paintings in which colour and composition take precedent over subject matter. De Vliegher captures his subjects with vigorous brushwork working alla prima, wet paint on wet paint to achieve a sense of vitalized reality. The resulting effect is that his works appear to capture a moment in transition, a brief and fleeting moment in time.
Dick Frizzell
22 Pins
Dick Frizzell / Dick Frizzell’s work has always been characterised by a highly skilled handling of paint and an endlessly inventive range of subject matter and styles: faux-naive New Zealand landscapes, figurative still-life, comic book characters and witty parodies of modernist abstraction. His work also portrays a sense of exuberance, ironic humour and baby-boomer nostalgia.
Michael Hight
4 Pins
Michael Hight / Micheal Hight is a self-taught painter who has been exhibiting regularly since the late 1980s. He is most commonly associated with his realistic depictions of beehives in the New Zealand landscape, particularly in Central Otago and Canterbury. More recent works have temporarily left behind his identifiable landscapes in favour of surreal dreamscapes within which a personal sense of real childhood innocence is evident.
Chris Heaphy
6 Pins
Chris Heaphy / Chris Heaphy has been a practicing artist since the early 1990s. Heaphy has exhibited extensively throughout Australasia and Europe and his work is included in numerous major public and private collections in New Zealand and further abroad.

Reuben Paterson
8 Pins

Sara Hughes
6 Pins

Editions
19 Pins
Editions / A variety of prints and editions from our Gow Langsford Gallery Artists and more. Available to view at Kitchener St, Auckland.
Karl Maughan
4 Pins
Karl Maughan / Ever faithful to his garden subject Karl Maughan is one of New Zealand's most recognisable artists. With a career now spanning more than three decades, Maughan's practice continues to captivate his audiences with his contemporary interpretations of an age-old subject. Despite a dedication to his to subject, within this Maughan has multifarious approaches. Where earlier works were acutely realist, other series are more fantastical as details are simplified and their colours exaggerated.
John Pule
10 Pins
John Pule / When John Pule first arrived in inner city Auckland as a young adult in 1980, the formal tenets of poetry and painting were largely unknown to him. Over the next 30 years Pule would explore new directions as both writer and painter, and has since emerged as one of this countrys most recognised painters and one of the most celebrated artists of the "New Oceania". His work is highly inventive, particularly in its adaptation of traditional Pacific art forms.
