250 Gallery is a pop-up gallery featuring the works of Tina Frantzen and guest artists Gennie de Lange and Jane Thorne.
Tina has successfully exhibited at the Railway Street Gallery for several years and continues to do so as a member of the gallery’s collective. Her works are in several private art collections including that of James Wallace.
In 2015 she was a finalist in the Wallace Art Awards. 250 Gallery provides the opportunity to show a retrospective of all her works including paintings, photography, charcoal drawings and books of her paintings.
In this exhibition, Tina will be showing works from her Ley Lines of Home series – photographs catching fleeting moments of light and place.
Quiet places
Jane strives to capture an idyllic view of reality through her work, creating pieces that are both whimsical and full of intricate details. Using the subject matter of insects, she explores the beauty of small, often overlooked details in nature.
By including tiny pieces of history (wallpaper), Jane aims to bring alive memories and allow the viewer to engage and create their own meanings and stories.
She has a Bachelor of Visual Arts, has exhibited with many Auckland galleries and has work in private collections in Europe and New Zealand.
