Judy Pullen - Shaping Light

Shaping Light - Judy Pullen

'Shaping Light' is the debut solo exhibtion of local glass artist, Judy Pullen, and will featured a combination of existing and newly created works made specially for this exhibition.

Known for using a combination of both recycled and art glass to create her works, Judy Pullen has developed a distinctive style of glass art over the years by emplyoing particular visual motifs which have become very signature to her work - fish, flowers, and other anthropomorphic figures, paired with playful titles and puns, which brings a sense of endless curiosity and play to her work.

Artist Statement:

"Glass, with its transparency, brilliance, and ability to refract and reflect light, has long been a source of fascination for artists.

Through the medium of glass, I've explored themes of light, colour, and form. Each piece tells a story, offering a glimpse into my creative journey."

-Judy Pullen

Dylan Huata - INTRO-TO-VERT

Saturday 6 July 2024 - Thursday 18 July 2024

Lake House Arts is pleased to present...

 

Dylan Huata - INTRO-TO-VERT

6th July - 18th July

 

Becroft and Ogle Galleries

Opening Celebration:

4pm, Sunday 7th July

 

The “INTRO-2-VERT” exhibition focuses on Spirituality, Atua, and personal as well as communal experiences that connect us to our ancestors in everyday life.

The meaning behind the title “intro2vert” defines 3 key points.

The first meaning is the introduction of those above us who came before. 

As they watch over our actions and keep us accountable, we must continue to do good, if that is what we seek. In this life, we are the representatives of more than just ourselves.

The second meaning is personal and is the introduction to moving vertically in this journey. 

For the story of a 23-year-old artist, this section would be described as “the come-up”.

Lastly, each person has an introverted and reserved side to their character.

Often choosing to hide talents, disciplines and passions.

We also have confidence that is often mistaken for arrogance.

This aids us in portraying fearlessness and personality within our character.

Experience “INTRO-2-VERT” and witness the work of an “Extra-Introvert".

 

Artist Statement:

"My name is Dylan Tiaki also known as “Blanc Phase” (pronounced Blank Face). 

I am a 23-year-old artist based in North Shore, Auckland. 

Largely Influenced by a range of Music, Dance, Fashion, and Poetry, my main source of expression is through Art. My works are made from a mixture of acrylics, oils & pastels on medium to large stretched canvases. 

Faces are a signature statement in my works, so I tend to include them both clearly and secretly among the layers. This adds a form of playfulness for my audience to interact with as they interpret my work."

“I’m no extrovert, I’m just a confident introvert.” - Dylan Tiaki (BLANC-PHASE)
