Neala Glass

Neala Glass is an Auckland based artist who works with drawing and printmaking techniques. Characterised by monochromatic palettes and a focus on the figure, Neala’s work explores the ways in which the human form can communicate narrative, mood, emotion and tension.

An interest in psychology and the intricacy of the human condition sits behind the works, as Neala aims to reflect an expression of the subject’s inner world. The pieces strike a balance between moments of realism and areas of abstraction and gesture. The works offer a sense of quietude, introspection and contemplation.

Neala Glass gained a BA/BFA from the University of Auckland/ Elam School of Fine Arts specialising in Printmaking, Art History and Psychology. She is currently a gallery director and exhibits work in select galleries around New Zealand.

"Through my figurative work I examine the intricacies of the human condition, often with a deeper focus on psychology. I explore the potential of the human form to evoke mood and narrative." - Neala Glass
