Artist in Profile • Renee Pearson

“The use of greywacke stone, the most abundant stone in Aotearoa and the foundation of our land, brings the conversation back into a local arena.”

Renée Pearson grew up in a small village in the southern alps of Aotearoa. These formative years, exploring the surrounding landscape, fostered a passion for the land that grew alongside her, and continues to be an important influence in her work.

Pearson completed a Certificate in Design at Christchurch Polytechnic in 2012. Wishing to further develop her technical skills and explore new materials, the artist is currently working on a Bachelor of Applied Arts at Whitireia. At present Pearson works predominantly with greywacke, Aotearoa’s most abundant stone, allowing the artist to connect her creative work with her love for the natural landscape. Her first exhibited work ‘The Last Supper’ was selected for exhibition in Munich, Germany as part of 'Talente 2018', and was profiled in VIVA magazine’s 2017 profile of notable emerging artists.

Artist in Profile • Nigel Swinn

‘‘I've returned to New Zealand now, with a desire to dust off my Kiwi identity by taking stock of New Zealand - and New Zealanders. A remarkable country and people, lost and found, at the earth's edge.’’

Nigel Swinn attended Wellington Polytechnic School of Design in the seventies and was a contemporary of the artist John Drawbridge. After completing his studies, Swinn voyaged abroad, selling cameras in a Dixons store in Bristol. On his return to Aotearoa, Swinn joined the National Publicity Studios – a division of the New Zealand Tourist and Publicity Department, and the ‘still image’ sister of the National Film Unit.

Swinn has exhibited extensively, both nationally and internationally, including the 2013 and 2016 Aotearoa Art Fair, as well as the 2015 Los Angeles Photo Independent. His solo exhibition ‘No Free Man’ at the Gus Fisher Gallery marked the 800th anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta, with the seminal series later being acquired by the University of Auckland.

Artist in Profile • Chris Charteris 

"Everything is a living thing, even inanimate objects possess a life essence... their spirituality and energy are eternal." 

Originally trained in Māori design and carving, Chris Charteris draws on his diverse cultural inheritance in a way that explores the universality of form. Allowing the energy of the material to speak for itself, his sculptures act as signifiers of the marriage between man and nature. 
Extending beyond their physical form, Charteris' works are imbued with a deeply spiritual quality, referencing symbols and motifs found throughout Oceania.

Artist in Profile • Casey Moore

"I'm always celebrating what's in front of the lens." 

Casey Moore is a Melbourne-based photographer with a focus on Aotearoa subjects. Born in Invercargill, but raised from the age of three in Switzerland and later London, Moore has kept a narrative of reconnection with his homeland running throughout his work. 

A deep connection to materials is woven through Moore's practice. He uses only analogue methods for capturing and printing his photographs, and massages the large-scale prints by hand through chemical baths. This physicality has become integral to his work, and is reflected in the bodily experience of viewing his photographs.

Artist in Profile • Alexis Neal

"My works are an adaptation of traditional weaving patterns put into my own artistic format. Each possesses its own story.”

Fostering a meeting of both tradition and modernity, Alexis Neal (Ngāti Awa/Te Ātiawa) explores traditional Māori weaving pattern within reimagined mediums to create contemporary Taonga.

By incorporating a printed medium with traditional weaving techniques, Neal compiles multiple layers of colour and patterning, engaging with notions of cultural identity and material histories. Speaking on her work, Neal states ‘The exploration of culture, the value of history and the complexities of human connection are contemplated, to show how artefacts can be both personal adornment and remnants of material culture. Here, the Māori story is reinterpreted using European materials. It is social and personal, cultural and human. It includes you.”

Neal earned her Bachelor and Graduate Diploma of Fine Arts in 1997, and went on to complete a Masters degree in Fine Art Media at the Slade School of Fine Art in London in 1998. Neal has exhibited extensively in Aotearoa, as well as in international exhibitions in London, Melbourne, Sydney, the United States and Norway.

Artist in Profile • Richard Naish

"My main interest in furniture making is in taking a reductive approach to finding the boundary between reason and delight in the design of domestic objects.”

There is no gigantic philosophical leap between considered architecture and art. They both explore a relationship with context and hold embedded meaning. But perhaps in Richard Naish’s case the link is more concrete: his journey to artist has involved the physical act of making 3D objects. “As a young graduate, I was interested in woodworking,” he explains. “Among other things, I made a bizarre coffee table as a wedding gift for my brother.” 

Five years ago, the urge to rekindle these skills saw him enrol in a community course. Then he cleaned out the garage, bought some serious kit, invested in the smaller, defter tools for fine woodworking and began to explore. His first show, entitled Almost, presented a series of experimental furniture (familiar but not quite functional). 

Parallels between his practices of architecture and art are not hard to find. Each feeds the other. “Art reminds me what pure architecture is about,” says Naish. “It should be a combination of the rational, appropriate and the poetic. The skill is in delivering the poetry.”
