We are pleased to present a solo exhibition of new works by Gaen.
Drawing on the landscapes of his childhood- Hawkdun, the Southern Alps, and beyond- Gaen distils place into memory, light, and form. Rendered in soft, nostalgic pastel palettes, the works reduce familiar terrains to their geometric essence: a single contour, a rising peak, a band of cresting light. In blocks of pure colour, these fragments are enough to conjure the feeling of a landscape rather than its likeness. The paintings play with notions of near and far. Up close, they dissolve into abstraction; from a distance, they resolve into place. This shifting clarity mirrors the way we often understand the power of the landscapes we grew up in—most clearly when viewed from afar. The result is a quiet, reflective body of work: a gentle meditation on distance, memory, and belonging. Come and enjoy Gaen's contemporary reimagining of the New Zealand landscape through a cubist lens. |
