Lebanon born Zad Jabbour’s highly
realistic and expertly executed oil paintings. Zad
was influenced by his father’s work in portrait
painting, sculpture and Byzantine iconography.
For Zad; art is not simply a
talent, (although talent plays a great role he
says), but a continuous willingness to learn, giving
the artist maturity and self confidence to achieve
great works. He
established an art school and gallery whilst
teaching the writing of Byzantine Iconography in the
Kaslik University in Lebanon.
Now

Places in Pastel
Cynthia McKenzie
Tues 6
July - Sun 25 July 2010
Opening Tues 6 July, 5-7pm
In the Cafe
My landscape journey takes us
through many different parts of New Zealand,
both the North and South Islands, from
beaches, through forests to snow-capped
mountains. I am inspired to paint a scene by
a fleeting impression of light and shade, or
breathtaking colour. Colour is for me the
key inspiration to paint and the glorious
colours in the NZ landscape, winter and
summer, spring and autumn are a reason to
set up my easel. I paint my pictures in
pastel as I love their texture and
versatility.

Reflections
Rod Slater

Opening Tues 25 May, 5-7pm
In the Gallery
An
experienced blue-water cruiser, Rod has
sailed throughout New Zealand aboard his 30
foot sailboat 'Bontekoe'.
His love
of the sea and yachting are clearly
expressed in his crisp dynamic paintings.
Sails bent to the wind, waves cleaved by the
bow, reflections and ripples stirring the
seas of imagination. These are his
inspirations, his palette.

Pink Ravens II
Susan Nelson
Tues 4
- Sun 23 May 2010
Opening Tues 4 May, 5-7pm
This exhibition is based on a
personal exploration into cultural identity
from the perspective of a 'pink' fleshed
girl born in the 1970's as a third
generation Canadian. The works are
hybridizations of the various cultures and
eras that I identify with. I have included
a Northwest Coast aboriginal flavor to some
of the works as representation of a strong
sense of kinship through a close
relationship with the same land, what I
consider to be a mutual relative. The
intended message behind this exhibition is
from a place of loving connectedness toward
people of today who are made up of many
different cultures that are not necessarily
of their ancestry. It's a celebration of
diversity and greater unity by virtue of
unique internal identities, and a call for
respect and inclusion for all cultures.
Most of the pieces are titled
as self-portraits as they blend different
aspects of my European/Canadian cultures
with a layering of eras as well – from my
early settler to 1970’s. |

Erika Gajdocsi
Tues 4
- Sun 23 May 2010
Erika Gajdocsi is an emerging artist. She
completed an Advanced Diploma in Art &
Creativity (Level 7) at The Learning
Connexion in Wellington. Erika enjoys
exploring process and materiality.
In this series of work, the colour white is
being investigated together with the round
and rectangular shapes. Connection is made
between the shapes by colourful pins
enhancing the purity and cleanliness of
white.
Simplicity is the key element. By keeping
this series pure and simple, the viewer
should feel balanced and connected and may
realise that simplicity is calming and
powerful at the same time.

Heart of
Glass
Isla Osborne, Ingrid Carter, Frances Hanson,
John Hansen
8 - 28 February 2010
In the Gallery
Heart of Glass
is a collaboration between four Auckland artists,
each responding to Valentines Day with questions
about soul and society. This exhibition shows a
diverse range of work, including lampworked
jewellery, cast glass sculpture and fused drawings
in glass.

Grey Lynn artist, Isla Osborne, presents a
series of sketches in fused glass. She says “I
returned to New Zealand after 10 years living and
working in London, and have been struck by the sense
of community here in Grey Lynn”. Her charming
work is a comment on Valentines Day as a
contemporary construction. With titles such as
‘Enough Stuff’ and ‘Who’s on the Box?’ she
encourages viewers to question the commercialism
that surrounds modern rituals.
Ingrid Carter, from Te Arai, melts glass to
create wonderfully intricate beads that are made
into exceptional jewellery. These miniature worlds
are magical works of wearable art.
John
and Frances Hanson are a husband and wife team
based in the Eastern Bays. Although both work in
glass, they use very different techniques to create
their pieces. Frances is a lampworker and
silversmith, using a torch to melt glass and make
dramatic beads. As an art-jeweller, her pieces are
unique and individual, with an emphasis on symbolic
representation. In this show, the warmth of the
heart is depicted in her lovely jewellery. Some
people wear their heart on their sleeve, but these
enchanting pieces mean you can wear your heart as a
piece of jewellery.

John works with cast and fused glass on a larger
scale and for this exhibition he has produced some
very tactile works. ‘Broken Hearted’ invites the
viewer to see it as either two parts or one, whilst
‘Home is where the Heart is’ is an evocative,
multi-coloured fused glass installation.
