Roger Murray: Unravelling Perception
-
Publisher: Roger Murray
Roger Murray is a master at destabilising perception. Or rather, he’s a master at revealing the instability inherent to all perceptual experience. While our eyes appear to us as active agents that seek out and discover the world around us, vision is a tricky, finnicky thing. Like the Impressionists, Roger knows this well and instils each work with an awareness that what we see – or think we see – at any moment is a mere semblance of reality.
While visually arresting, the works carry conceptual and philosophical weight. Caressing the threshold between the visible and invisible, Roger’s sculptures invoke the Deleuzian and Guattarian notion of chaosmos, a composite of ‘chaos’ and ‘cosmos’ that challenges the separation of order and disorder, harmony and entropy. In these works, order is not imposed from the top-down, but rather emerges through the infinite potential and indeterminacy of chaos itself. It is an order that is dynamic, capable of changing in response to new conditions, perspectives, and connections.

Publisher: Merthyr Ruxton
Merthyr Ruxton is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works on the Tawharanui Peninsula - ten minutes from Matakana, New Zealand.

"The process and rituals of neuro-science are similar to those used in the abstraction process. The 'accessing the other' which abstraction requires is anchored happily in the neuro-scientific methods I have learnt in the past few years".

The Expanded Field of Print Exhibition
-
Publisher: Print Council
This catalogue covers the exhibited artwork at the Print Council Aotearoa New Zealand and NorthArt's The Expanded Field of Print Selected Exhibition (2024).
The work gathered in this show eloquently and, in some cases decisively, responds to Ruth Weisberg’s assertion that the “purpose of the artwork is to engage the viewer’s mind rather than their eyes”. We are witness to print in many forms as ideas assume many forms, a dispensary experience accessing socialised generosity. Print not concerned with archival legacy. Print that crosses territorial and technological divides. Print that remembers. Print that reforms resilience, removes and reimagines convention. The printmaking in The Expanded Field simultaneously references print histories and forms an open contemporary art praxis.

Onlie Ong
-
Also my hometown: A 30 year retrospective of artwork by Onlie Ong is a comprehensive exhibition of the painting and ceramic practice of artist Onlie Ong.
Beginning in Taiwan, where he studied graphic design, Ong has had a long and varied career. Upon moving to Aotearoa in 1991, he began practising ceramic sculpture, with which he had a successful career and exhibited throughout Australasia. In 2008 he suffered a wrist injury that inhibited him from making ceramics. Instead of ending his art career, he shifted his practice to pursue painting and now creates a new series every year.
Now in his late seventies, Ong continues to use his art to reflect his experience of migration and finding a new sense of place and home in Aotearoa. Ong balances visual themes common in Western surrealism and shan shui (a form of Chinese landscape painting), while capturing the unmistakable scenery of Aotearoa.
