Sixty Three Times Around the Sun
Vjekoslav Nemesh 5th May - 30th May 2026 Opening event Friday 8th May 5-8pm Live Painting Demos 14 & 16th May 12-2pm This exhibition marks a deeply personal milestone — my 63rd journey around the sun, and over four decades dedicated to the path of art. At the heart of the show is the title piece, Sixty-Three Times Around the Sun, which I will paint on the day of my 63rd birthday, continuing a small but meaningful tradition I’ve recently embraced. The inspiration for this work came from a reflection on aging by Jonny Bear, whose words stirred something deep within me. As I painted, I found myself thinking not only of my own journey, but of my generation — and of those who, for many different reasons, never had the chance to grow old. As part of the exhibition Nemesh is also leading two workshops on the 23rd and 24th of May. https://nemeshart.co.nz/ www.instagram.com/nemesh_art/ |

'WU - Everything is Empty' - by Fang Yuan
& 'Kumeū in Focus' - Members Part of the Auckland Festival of Photography 2026 2 - 27 June 2026 Opening event Friday 5th June 5-7pm In the Pod Gallery we present Fang Yuan’s series “Wu – Everything is Empty.” “Wu” describes a state before things are clearly defined, a space where forms are still emerging. Horizons dissolve and subtle colour fields shift leaving almost no fixed subject and inviting viewers to slow down and sense light, distance, and atmosphere. The work connects with the theme Movement [Kori], reflecting ideas of migration, belonging, and transition. In the Main Gallery, Kumeū Arts Members and the Kumeū Photography Group present their annual exhibition Kumeū in Focus, featuring a range of subjects and creative perspectives from our photographic community. Entries due in by DATE: By Saturday 30th May Up to 3 entries per artist Download an entry form kumeu_in_focus_2026._entry_form.docx |
