By the Artbay Gallery Group is a fresh, modern, contemporary art experience.
They feature contemporary light-works that inspire, engage, and have a mesmerising effect on all who view them.
The gallery represents a hand-picked collection of high profile artists like internationally renowned Max Patté, New Zealand’s leading contemporary artist Robert Jahnke, and award-winning artists Tim Christie, Wendy Hannah, Trish Campbell and Shannon Novak.
The new Auckland gallery is one to keep a close eye on, with exciting solo exhibitions scheduled throughout the year. The ‘Side Space’ that flows through from the main Auckland Lightworx gallery is set to showcase artists whose works have never been seen in Auckland before.
This April, International artist Virut will be transforming the Side Space with his unique overflowing creativity. His larger than life collages are complex and vivid. From a distance the portraits are almost hyperrealistic, viewed closely the original image softly dissolves into the layers of paper. After sell-out shows in Queenstown over years past, Auckland art lovers are in for a treat.
In June, the distinguished Robert Jahnke’s neon light works will shine proudly in the Side Space. Jahnke’s work is well recognised by the discerning art collector and has recently wowed people at the Toi T-u Toi Ora Contemporary Art Gallery where he prominently featured in the largest M-aori Art exhibition in 132 years. This is an exciting chance for collectors to immerse themselves in his minimal clean lines and sophisticated narratives.
Exhibition opens 22 April - 23 May.
