ABSTRACTING NATURE GAEN Waikato based artist Gaen is both a geometric abstractionist and landscape artist, who aims to capture nature's splendour through his painted works.
Using landscape photography as a start point, he sources palettes from specific regions of his photographs before systematically reducing the scene to its minimalist quintessence. Those moments at dawn and dusk, when the play of light and shadow transforms the mountains and lands into a visual symphony, have become the signature of his artistic vision.

REFRESHING NOSTALGIA SIMON LEWIS WARDS We are pleased to introduce a new addition to the Simon Lewis Wards family!
Chilled to perfection and undeniably classic, cola bottles are more than just a sweet treat—they’re a cultural icon. A staple of any Pick & Mix, Simon Lewis Wards celebrates this timeless favourite with a glass sculpture that captures its bold form and rich, nostalgic hues. The Auckland-based artist is known for his playful Pop Kiwiana aesthetic, creating works that are joyful, humorous, and rich with nostalgia unique to Aotearoa.

TACTILE SURFACES XAVIER HART Auckland-based contemporary artist Xavier Hart pushes the boundaries between painting and sculpture, crafting works that exist in a dynamic space between two and three dimensions.
Through a process of sculpting paint, carving layers, and revealing textures, Hart allows each piece to hold traces of its own creation. The result- compositions that seem to shift and transform—capturing energy, rhythm, and a compelling interplay of fluidity and structure. Discover Xavier Hart's work at the gallery and online here |
