A focused selection of work produced between 1997 and 2022 by the Tāmaki Makaurau based artist Greta Anderson, a prolific maker of pictures, films and music. For over a quarter of a century she has caught dramatic scenes that quietly reference intensely personal narratives, and the selection covers genres as wide as the face, the still life, the wild and domesticated landscape and the suburban tableau, offering fresh juxtapositions across many series and one-off works.
“In her images ordinary things radiate mystery, haloed by an ecstatic glow. Her pictures traverse eerie latitudes; they are brushed by the phantasmagoric; they pulse with a visceral brightness.” — David Eggleton
