Our current exhibition, Ebb & Flow, brings together artist Josh Bashford and sculptor Dan Summers in a harmonious pairing of canvas and stone.

We especially love the shared motif of flounder referenced in Josh’s woodcut prints and echoed in several of Dan’s basalt and granite sculptures. Totally unplanned, and oh so pleasing.

On the wall until February 20th, don’t miss this unique show with all its compelling cohesion.

Our 2023 exhibition season officially launches thi

Our 2023 exhibition season officially launches this Saturday at 11am with the opening of ‘Ebb & Flow’, our first show of the year featuring work by Josh Bashford and Dan Summers.

Both artists, though unique in their respective creative practices, have produced work that is inspired by, and delves deep into, the currents of life.

Josh Bashford’s lyrical chisel marks seek to capture the rhythm of creation. With his dynamic interplay of line and form, light and dark, creature and current, Josh brings together his observations, life experiences and faith in this latest series of captivating large-scale woodcut prints.

Sculptor Dan Summers draws much inspiration from his late father, Llew Summers. Dan’s experience is imbued into his sculptural work; the physical and emotional pain of love and loss, and the artist’s contemplative reflection on the past, have been fixed in stone, for this moment and time.

An intriguing and personal collection of work by these two Canterbury artists, not to be missed.

We featured Ana Teofilo’s rings in a story a while back, but they’re too beautiful to not have a more permanent presence here. Dunedin-based, Ana’s art practice has been touted as ‘a breath of fresh air to the Pasifika genre of art in New Zealand’. Her intricately painted and carved pieces, embellished with opaque ‘dots’, merge Samoan heritage and Western influence to intriguing effect.

Priced from $1250 to $1650, we ship nationwide and beyond - get in touch if you love what you see ✨
