On Now
Stitched in sugar fields and silence,
this story is watched by two cats,
moving softly through fabric, shadows, and years,
holding women’s tenderness and memory,
and the desires they were never taught to name.

This exhibition features two styles of Chinese brush painting – gongbihua (court style realism) and shumohua (freehand style). The subject matter – birds, flowers, insects, animals – reflect Chinese artists’ traditional fascination with capturing the natural world in a way that conveys both realism and poetry. This exhibition invites you to join my journey into Chinese brush painting and to see how using a brush, and a variety of mediums like paper and silk, can be the source of creation, joy and discovery.

Kohia te māramatanga, kohia te koa. The gathering of light, the gathering of joy.
In these uncertain times light and joy are a beacon of hope.
Aria's mahi toi reflects the light we all hold within, the very light that helps navigate us through life's challenging times.
Roger's pieces reflect joy and happiness which uplift and give hope for better times ahead. This is reflected in both artists works, with the use of composition, colour, form and function.

Following our hugely successful inaugural exhibition in April 2025, our next exhibition, “Our City - A Wider Lens”, documents and reflects Wellington but from a wider perspective, with new photographers and all new photos. We are an informal and diverse group who are passionate about photography and passionate about Wellington. We get together regularly in Cuba Mall and explore the inner city, its people, its architecture, its details, its hidden gems with our cameras. Outside of those meetups, we also arrange regular outings to explore the wider Wellington region. Each photographer will be showcasing their own unique approach and perspective, and this will be reflected in the variety of images on show.

"Unseen"brings together recent paintings by Nong Shao Hua that explore the quiet spaces between memory, perception, and imagination. In these works, fragments of everyday life—figures, objects, dim interiors, and anonymous landscapes—appear suspended in ambiguous settings where narrative remains deliberately unresolved. Nong’s restrained palette and layered brushwork create atmospheres that feel both intimate and distant, inviting viewers to look slowly and attentively. Rather than presenting clear stories, the paintings suggest moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed: fleeting gestures, overlooked presences, and subtle emotional states. **Unseen** reflects the artist’s ongoing interest in what lies beneath ordinary experience—the hidden tensions, private reflections, and silent dramas that shape our inner world. In these quiet yet compelling images, the familiar becomes strangely poetic, reminding us that much of life’s meaning exists just beyond the surface of what we immediately recognise.
