Learning from Māori healing concept.
This show is a series of spontaneous/reverse illustrations inspired from the book “Collaborative and Indigenous Mental Health Therapy. Tātaihono — stories of Māori Healing and Psychiatry” by Wiremu NiaNia, Allister Bush and David Epston. Spontaneous/Reverse illustrations is a concept I came up with, they are made by focusing on the concept as intent, then letting the colours and shapes lead and explain, rather than having the explanation lead the colours and shapes/visual metaphors after conscious planning, the way illustrations usually work.0th of January – 29th February 2020.
Nic’s painting has themes of death,
addiction, bureaucracy, anxiety and
beauty. Lost in our escape represents running from problems and getting lost along the way.
This is his first exhibition.
Opening night at Roar! Gallery: 1st October 5:30 – 7:30 pm
Exhibition from the 1st – 31st October
‘Regrowth’ is a series of artworks exploring an alternate ‘surreal’ reality in which nature has reclaimed man-made settings in bizarre and alien-like formations.
Created in response to the COVID-19 lockdown, where many observed the natural world flourish due to a brief break from the regular environmental destruction of today’s modern world. Each work depicts New Zealand scenery and native plant-life, giving a snapshot into a world where nature is allowed the freedom to regrow into something new.
“I paint for my own personal escapism and to offer the door to days of romance and adventure to others. I like to stick to themes- British policemen, nuns, Alice in Wonderland but I always return to women on large motorcycles and the jungle adventures because they delight me personally. Sometimes mothers buy them for them for their children and they tell me the kids take them with them when they leave home. The thought someone grew up with one of my pictures and still liked it as a teenager is very rewarding.”
