Gaen

Waikato based artist Gaen is both a geometric abstractionist and landscape artist, who aims to capture nature's splendour through his painted works.

Working in acrylic on board and canvas, Gaen uses landscape photography as a start point. He sources palettes from specific regions of his photographs before systematically reducing the scene to its minimalist quintessence.

Having travelled the length and breadth of New Zealand, Gaen finds inspiration in the untamed beauty of the country's vast and often barren landscapes. 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.

While the artist has devoted considerable time to the South Island, where nature's drama unfolds in spectacular fashion, he has also drawn inspiration from many of the world's greatest landscape attractions. This global perspective adds depth to his artistic range.

Gaen exhibits his most recent work exclusively with Black Door Gallery.

From the snowcapped peaks of the Southern Alps to the lush valleys of the Waikato, Gaen captures and expresses the essence of New Zealand's diverse terrains through his abstract works.
