Boyd-Dunlop is excited to introduce James Klein a young designer who has released a new collection of designer furniture available to view now at Boyd-Dunlop Napier gallery.⁠
⁠
The work comes from a background in heavy industry and fabrication, with an interest in creating objects that feel grounded, lasting, and architectural. Influenced by fashion, industrial materials, and spatial design, the pieces explore tension between refinement and rawness through steel, leather, timber, and form.⁠
⁠
Klein comes from an engineering background and is inspired by fashion, designers and architecture including:⁠
⁠
Rei Kawakubo⁠
Martin Margiela⁠
Mies van der Rohe⁠
Jean Prouvé⁠
Donald Judd⁠
Henry Timi⁠
⁠
All works made in NZ

We are extremely excited to welcome Rosie and Rich to the gallery who are currently exhibiting a selection of recent works.

Rosy & Rich are Tai Tokerau-based artists working from their studio at the Quarry Arts Centre, Whangārei. Formed in 2013, their partnership unites Parsonson’s refined graphic line and painterly sensibility with Darbyshire’s mastery of form, scale, and ceramic technique. Together, they create contemporary ceramic works that explore myth, culture, and the human condition through layered surface and sculptural presence.

ROSIE AND RICH

920 x 270 x 280mm

Two Heads (yellow - base, vase, lid)
Terracotta, Underglaze, glaze, 18k gold lustre
830 x 270 x 280mm

The Pups ‘Two heads’ and ‘Five Paws’ have a youthful and playful energy about them. When Rosy was designing Two Heads she couldn’t decide on the positioning of the head so Rich sculpted her with two heads and the same goes for Five Paws.

Lion dogs are a symbol of protection, their ferocity and majesty make them a fitting symbol of power and strength. These guardians are frequently seen in pairs outside front doors, standing tall and proudly as they ward off negative energy.

Available to view at Boyd-Dunlop Gallery now

Last weekend to catch the Figurative Collective exhibition at Boyd-Dunlop Contemporary (Upstairs)

Featured Artist - Marcus Hipa

Marcus Hipa (b. Alofi, Niue) is a Niuean-New Zealand artist whose work investigates the social and psychological dimensions of Pacific experience within a globalised world. A graduate of the Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland, Hipa has developed a visual language that draws equally from traditional Niuean pattern, carving and symbolism, and from the graphic intensity of contemporary urban culture.

Seven mirrors. Seven four-letter words. ⁠
⁠
Trish Campbell's Smoke and Mirrors is political satire with a glittery edge. Taking aim at the corruption, narcissism, and theatre of contemporary American politics from a healthy distance, the installation asks whether RAGE, SPIN, MOCK, HYPE, FAKE, BULL and DUPE have quietly replaced the values we used to claim to live by. The seven deadly sins, updated for the current moment.⁠
⁠
Each mirror is dressed in glitter, rhinestones, and vintage men's tie fabric, materials that look lavish until you realise how cheap and disposable they are. Much like the systems, promises, and image-making they are critiquing.⁠
⁠
Come have a look. We dare you. This installation is up for viewing now at Boyd-Dunlop Gallery Napier ⁠

New screenprint release by Brad Novak!

Reservoir Birds 2.1 (A) Red and Gold Variant
limited edition (of 25) screen-print on 300gsm Fabriano paper
gold edition of 5 only
signed and numbered on front
1000 x 700mm paper size

In 2009, Brad Novak (aka New Blood Pop) created his first ‘Reservoir Birds’ work. An influential image that has held its place within both the artistic and pop culture Zeitgeist of New Zealand. Inspired by the cult movie ‘Reservoir Dogs’, he grounded the famous scene within Aotearoa by using personified native NZ birds in matching black and white suits.

And so began his personal ‘Hybrid’ theme in which Novak explores ‘identity’ through charismatic animals fusing with human figures.

Novak considers himself a true hybrid - geek first, artist second, and (part-time) doctor third. Through uncanny juxtaposition, he wants to convey the complexity of our identities.

Of note: the movie’s director, Quentin Tarantino, acquired one of Novak’s early Reservoir Birds works for his personal collection.

BTW we have the last two of the original Reservoir Bird editions remaining at Boyd-Dunlop Gallery...

⁠
Two new limited edition screenprints have just arrived at the gallery, and they are stunning.⁠
⁠
These prints emerge from my long engagement with the visual languages of Tongan fibre practice. In Tonga, the making of textiles such as ngatu (barkcloth) sits at the centre of cultural life, carrying systems of knowledge, symbolism, and social meaning. At the heart of this process is the kupesi, a patterned stencil traditionally constructed from plaited pandanus or coconut midrib, and other plant materials. When fetaʻaki (plain barkcloth) is placed over the kupesi and rubbed with pigment from the koka tree, the underlying design surfaces through the process known as tataʻi. The kupesi establishes the structural framework from which the visual composition of the cloth unfolds.⁠
⁠
In Kupesi Styles I and II, I draw on this visual system, translating kupesi patterning through the medium of screenprint. Motifs such as the lion, dove, crown, eagle, and Halley’s Comet appear alongside geometric formations drawn from barkcloth traditions, referencing, in my own way, relationships between cosmology, chiefly authority, and Tongan symbolic language.⁠
