    • Lost In Our Escape
      • Nic Aagaard is from Wellington and is the Principal Advisor of Ethics to the Ministry of Health.  In 2019 he started painting in his living room in an effort to manage the stress and anxiety of life and work in a healthier way (with mixed results). When starting out he was inspired by the New Zealand artist Toby Raine, experimenting with heavy impasto painting styles to create pieces that are big, bold and textured. 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.

    • Covid Free by David Boyle
      • 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.

    • FUNKY FIGURES EXHIBITION - Tuesday April 16th to Monday April 29th
      •   FUNKY FIGURES Inspired by the work of Tetsuo Aoki Artworks created in a workshop block run by Morag Stokes at Pablos Art Studios. During this workshop block we looked at the works of Japanese wood engraver Tetsuo Aoki for ideas and inspiration. He makes wood block prints of people with unreal proportions and works with black, white and greys.  He makes action packed compositions with his funky figures, so we had a go at something similar. We made a selection of stylised drawings of the clothed human figure in different poses (We used volunteers for this). We played with unusual proportions, like very small heads, big feet or hands etc. We learned about stylising ‘people poses’, using them to make dynamic drawing compositions with the help of tracing paper and paper cut-outs. We worked with a single colour in the medium of your choice (paint, ink, coloured pencils etc), and learned about creating bold tonal variations from those colours. The artists really enjoyed this workshop and took the works to different places with interesting and surprising results.
