Tim Melville is participating in the 2025 Aotearoa Art Fair between May 1st and May 4th with an exhibition of new paintings by Nephi Tupaea (Ngāti Koata, Ngāti Tiipa, Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, Ngāti Kahungunu) in our Ground Floor Booth G24.
We are also pleased to present a solo show of raku-fired ceramic vessels by Tracy Keith (Ngāpuhi) in the Fair’s new LOTUS House Party section – developed by Objectspace Director, Kim Paton.
For the weekend we will show new work by Tawhai Rickard, Ngahina Hohaia, Ngatai Taepa, Star Gossage, Russ Flatt and Sara Tautuku Orme.
