Recently I visited Auckland and discovered its Art Gallery. It houses a really striking collection of works, different to exhibitions I have seen before.
I really liked the
Home AKL exhibition which had opened on the day we visited, it showcases the works of Pacific artists, most of whom now live in Auckland.

In the gallery foyer, there is an installation of inflatable flowers by
Choi Jeong Hwa which I thought were just amazing. They mechanically open and close as if they were 'blooming'.

Below is some photos of other works I thought were beautiful or just interesting.

| I loved this |
Victorian Tales of Love and Enchantment was another exhibition in the gallery. The one picture that intrigued me most was Frank Bramley's,
For of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.

I also really liked James Pyne's
Genoa From the New Terrace.
And a lovely day was finished off by a pleasant walk in the park behind the gallery.
I must go to this exhibition. I have posted about the gallery too. It is just lovely now they have redeveloped - it has a nice connected feel to Albert Park now.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good week.
It was a great exhibition, you must go. The gallery architecture design was just stunning and the Park looked great as a back drop.
