Hamish Thompson’s photographic series, Behind the Counter: Wellington Shopkeepers, celebrates the personalities of 30 local shopkeepers and their shops, illustrating how they contribute to the unique character of Wellington.
Some shops have been family-run businesses since the 1920s. They include book stores, barber shops and florists, as well as stores specialising in fabrics, hats and ice cream.
These local businesses create a sense of place and community identity. They also provide personal customer service and a welcome alternative to chain stores and online retailers.
The photographs are presented in a ‘snapshot style’, capturing a variety of small shops that have caught Hamish’s eye on the streets of Wellington.

No Rhyme No Reason is an amalgamation of three friends who share a similar passion for painting.
Delve into whimsical realms inspired by a cocktail of cartoons and comics, where childhood nostalgia intertwines with a modern application and wink and nod to the absurd. Explore the intricate beauty of Japanese motifs meticulously hand-painted, each piece a testament to tradition and craftmanship which whisper ancient tales from their sturdy confines.
Experience the dynamic energy of Japanese themes bought to life with vivid hues and inspiration drawn from a devotion to the tattooing elements and applied using the vibrant hues of Copic markers which bring the pieces to life in a riot of colour.
Together, the collective works invite you to participate on an exploration of shared imagination, an exception from convention, and ride the wave through our eclectic art exhibition. There is no rhyme, no reason’, just a dash of irreverence.
