SHELLEY MASTERS INTERIOR MONOLOGUES Auckland-based painter Shelley Masters crafts poignant visual narratives that explore the interplay between light, architecture, and the human condition. His work captures moments of introspection, evoking a sense of interior monologues and private reflection. Drawing on his fascination with architectural spaces, Masters uses lighting to create mood, enhancing the emotional resonance of his compositions.
Figures in his paintings act as narrative anchors, their gestures and postures hinting at untold stories. His work delves into themes of solitude, connection, and the thresholds of change, offering spaces where contemplation and storytelling converge. View Shelley Master's works here |
TANYA BLONG IDLE MOMENTS Tanya Blong's figurative works capture fleeting moments in time, set against exotic backdrops that evoke society at leisure—languid, idle, and unhurried. These serene scenes stand in striking contrast to the fast-paced demands of the modern world.
Blong examines time as a precious modern commodity, using nature as a soothing counterpoint to the pace of a commercially driven world. Her work also explores the concept of place, particularly within exotic tropical settings, evoking the tension between belonging and exclusion. These environments, at first idyllic and intoxicating, reveal deeper undercurrents of mystery the longer one engages with them. View works by Tanya Blong here |
