We shine a Spotlight on artists showing their work between 13th September – 2nd October at Parnell’s ARTIS Gallery.
Marté Szirmay
Earthlight
Marté Szirmay has long been regarded as one of New Zealand’s most accomplished artists.
Originally from Hungary, her works are represented in private and public collections in New Zealand and internationally.
Creating sculptures for Marté is about creating a language of signs and symbols that transcend regional, cultural and social limitations. This new series of bronze works pays tribute to our Sun – “nothing is more important to us on Earth than the Sun”.
Elizabeth Rees
The Backroad
This collection of new oil paintings by Elizabeth Rees marks the beginning of a new studio and lifestyle in the Bay of Islands. Fascinated by people from all walks of life in her Northland community, Rees began to assemble her impressions and visual notes on the colours, vegetation and pace of life in her new environment.
Rees is a painter of mystery – the viewer will interpret these works in different ways and that is their strength. “My paintings I hope will convey just a thought about the beauty that is on our doorstep and fundamentally a part of us”.
