We are delighted to welcome local artist Joseph Rowntree to Boyd-Dunlop Gallery.⁠
⁠
Joseph Rowntree is a hardworking emerging artist from Heretaunga, Te Matau a Māui Hawke’s Bay, and we have been following his progression keenly. Recent works combine landscape and figurative elements described in painterly gestures with elements of abstraction. Rowntree's practice is all drawn from his experience of the world we live in here in Aotearoa. A unique awkward discomfort which is present in the storytelling and culture of Aotearoa. This is something Joseph feels able to comment on after spending over ten years working as a shearer and in the agricultural sector.⁠
His painting touches on the transiency and melancholy of working on the land alongside an emerging unique visual language.⁠
⁠
Joseph Rowntree graduated with a Bachelor in Creative Practice from the Eastern Institute of Technology in 2018 and has spent the years since honing his craft with near constant practice and consistent showings of work and is building an enthusiastic collector base for his paintings across Aotearoa.

Episode #129 “JR” Joseph Rowntree

Joseph @gorseinmyshoe is a painter, an artist, a curious soul who works across divides to get to something simmer under the surface in Aotearoa. From his earlier years moving down to the Te Waipounamu and eventually becoming a sheep shearer, to art school and pursuing a creative pathway, Oscar and JR talk through it all and get lost in some fun tangents along the way. As always, get ready… get set… and TUCK TUCK TUCK IN!
