Solo exhibitions by Kevin Osmond have been held at the Davidson Gallery in New York City, USA, and, most recently, at the Dominik Mersch Gallery in Sydney, Australia. He captures the energy in the world around us through complex sculptures, wall-based optical artworks, meditative drawings on paper, and freehand routed panels. Osmond builds up complexity and interrelation from the repetition and adaptation of simple forms, utilising a wide range of materials and mediums. Meticulous and experimental, he transforms the mundane into the mesmeric. She is currently an artist in residence at Corban Estate Arts by landscape and space, Kevin Osmond's artworks explore a gamut of different phenomena - from cloud formations and water droplets to topographical configurations, celestial explosions and other investigations of space. Moselen has shown throughout Aotearoa at sculpture events such as NZ Sculpture on Shore and Sculpture on the Gulf, and her work is held in several private collections. Over the following decades she expanded her practice to encompass printmaking, painting and stone-carving, before settling on sculpture. Moselen completed a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Metalcraft and Jewellery Design before moving to Aotearoa in 1998 and founding her own contemporary jewellery studio. The elegant forms adhere to the complex mathematical patterns repeated in the natural world, with curvilinear twists that defy the strength and rigidity of the raw material, inviting the viewer to a moment of quiet repose.Įach work is sculpted entirely by the artist, from the intense physical labour of cutting, welding, grinding and shaping steel with handmade tools, to the precise application of surface treatments. ![]() He is currently working as a tutor with Kākano Youth Arts Collective, based out of Corban Estate Arts Centre, alongside his art by the ancient symbolism and rugged coastline of her Cornish homeland, Julie Moselen’s stone and metal sculptures explore the dualities of light and shadow, softness and strength, the masculine and the feminine. Reihana’s work featured in the comprehensive survey of Māori contemporary art Te Atinga: 25 Years of Contemporary Māori Art which exhibited over 2013. Reihana holds a Bachelor of Māori Visual Arts (Hons) from Massey University (Palmerston North, 2012) and has exhibited throughout Aotearoa since 2015. Reihana’s practice has developed as a personalised response to traditional cultural practices, relating current social, political and environmental issues to a Māori perspective. His paintings are often rendered in a fine, illustrative style and incorporate reworked aspects of traditional Māori designs such as kōwhaiwhai (painted scroll pattern), tukutuku (woven lattice panels), and whakairo (carving). Working at both a large-scale publicly and on smaller-scale wall-based works, Reihana typically paints flora and fauna native to Aotearoa. Jermaine Reihana (Ngāti Hine, Pākehā) is a painter and arts educator whose practice focuses on customary Māori narrative and art conventions that navigate the complexities of contemporary society. ![]()
