“NINGYŌ: Art and Beauty of Japanese dolls" travelling exhibition
Downstairs Galleries
10 to 30 May 2021
Estuary Arts Centre is thrilled to announce that we have been chosen to host the travelling Japanese Exhibition for the City of Auckland Tamaki Makaurau. If you love Japanese art and culture then this exhibition is a must-see.
You will get to view up close the intricate and detailed art of Japanese doll-making from ancient Samurai pieces to modern Anime. The show will run from 10 to 30 May 2021 and will be open to the public 7 days a week from 9am to 4pm daily. This exhibition is worthy of being displayed in the Auckland Museum or Art Gallery so we as Hibiscus Coast Residents are very privileged to have been selected as the host gallery.
The exhibition has four sections:
Section One: Ningyō to pray for children’s growth.
The history of the Japanese doll can be traced back to the ancient rituals to ward off bad luck and to pray for a healthy and happy life, and these rituals were led to Sekku, a festival to pray for the health of one's baby. In this section, we introduce Katashiro, Amagatsu and Hōko, which are considered to be the prototype of the Japanese doll, as well as Dairi-bina and Momotarō, which are the dolls displayed at the festival.
Section Two: Ningyō as fine art.
The court and other upper classes favoured the Japanese dolls, which was refined in terms of craftsmanship. Many sophisticated pieces were produced that were primarily intended to be admired, and they were decorated with auspicious designs. In this section, Gosho Ningyō, Saga Ningyō, Nara Ningyō, Ishō Ningyō are introduced.
Section Three: Ningyō as folk art.
Japanese doll culture in local regions blossomed all over Japan. These folk dolls are made of familiar materials like paper and clay, and depict motifs of fables and natural features of common people. This section introduces local folk dolls from all over Japan, such as simple and cute Obata Ningyō, Imado Ningyō, and Miyoshi Ningyō.
Section Four: Spread of Ningyō culture.
There are a variety of dolls in Japan in terms of materials, techniques and expressions, including dolls as toys and dolls used in traditional performing arts. In this section Japanese doll culture which continues today is on show featuring contemporary dolls, dress-up toy dolls, and collector figures of anime characters and more. Ichimatsu Ningyō, Jōruri Ningyō, Hagoita, Licca are introduced in this section.
This exhibition will then continue to travel the world, and Estuary Arts is thrilled to be hosting the exhibition for the City of Auckland.
* Ningyō is a Japanese word which equals to “doll”, and literally means “human shape.”

"FROM PIXELS TO PAPER" by Deborah Martin
Cafe Walls
10 to 30 May 2021
Deborah Martin is a photographer and printmaker based in Matakana Auckland.
"From Pixels to Paper" is a selection of Deborah’s monochrome and native NZ bird photos, plus printmaking work.
Deborah’s creative ideas begin in camera. Her camera is like her sketch book. She then endeavours to enhance a feeling, mood or discovery by manipulating the pixels in each photograph using post processing software, like a painter uses all the tools at their disposal.
The final step Deborah uses to bring a new image into the world, is to select an appropriate process to transfer all the yummy photo pixels onto paper. One of the following processes is selected…photographic print onto archival paper using archival inks, intaglio gravure print, platinum palladium print or cyanotype print. Each process renders a unique “feel” to the final work.

Isolation

Digital Photography
23 June to 04 July 2021
"This theme, Isolation, connotes a certain pathos or tragedy when read. We are naturally social animals so to be living in a state of isolation, suggests that there is something different or wrong, some kind of aberration in the lone individual. To be isolated is to be the exception to the rule, though the artist is often also the exception to the rule when it comes to our collective judgement of those living in isolation. For the lonely artist living and working either in geographic isolation or quietly alone as the city buzzes around them, we reserve a certain mythical and mystical belief. We rely on the isolated artist, living on the fringes, to work outside of the huddled masses, reflecting our world back to us and navigating our quest for meaning". Elaine Smith, Curator

'Nature photography has provided the perfect balance to the stresses of working as a professional civil engineer, ultimately encouraging me to shift my focus to my creativity. Through my photography I have gained a true appreciation for the natural world and how fortunate we are that even in New Zealand’s largest city we are absolutely surrounded by nature.
It is this appreciation for nature that I hope to inspire and share with others through my photography.’

The Winners Show featuring Kym Burke, Susannah Law and Gavin Chai
Gallery 1
07 to 25 July 2021
Featuring the three first equal winners of the 2020 Hibiscus and Bays Annual Art Awards.
Kym Burke: As an artist and in my professional life I’ve always had an interest in people and their place. Artistically this has manifested as a fascination with maps – an alternative perspective on space, place and connections. I think partly it’s genetic, my grandfather - whom I never met - worked as a draftsman for the Department of Lands and Surveys for much of his life. I hold that with some pride and some doubt – historically maps have been a powerful tool of acquisition.
Over the last ten years I have been exploring perspectives through processes of deconstruction and reconstruction, taking something known (sometimes maps) and reimagining something different. This current series is in part a continuation of the exploration of ‘known’ in the form of ‘local’, and there is also an element of reconstruction in these works. However, they are also different from previous work and a part of a transitional process for me. A welcome return to painting, navigating the challenges and pleasures in the spontaneity of mark making; coupled with the careful planning and layering that working with acrylics requires. The Covid19 lockdowns enforced new perspectives – a gaze that became hyper-localised. These works are a response to that – and as the neighbourhoods evolved I often asked myself ‘who lives in this house – what’s going on here’.
Susannah Law: Susannah is an artist and teacher from the Hibiscus Coast in Auckland who specialises in figurative/ flora and fauna work. She has a Dip. Fine Arts and Dip. Teaching and usually paints portraits and historical fictional scenes of New Zealand. Her recent works are a study of extinct species such as the Huia and her interest in conservation themes continues to evolve. She uses various techniques to create marbled effects within detailed representational imagery, allowing paint to run and mix in screened areas. Also, she often produces native birds on shaped wood with completely marbled feather work.
Susannah has been involved in many successful exhibitions selling works nationally and internationally for decades. She has won numerous art awards since she was a child, recently being selected for the National Portrait Awards in Wellington with her work touring New Zealand.
Last year she has won 3 awards; the ‘Figurative’ award in Estuary Arts members show, the ‘People’s choice’ award at Mairangi Arts members show and also saw her win 1st equal in the ‘HBC Bayes Art awards’. Her most recent notable exhibitions are at private dealers such as Millwater Gallery and Emma Jean Gallery in Silverdale.
Gavin Chai: As a realist artist, I am interested in revitalizing the historical drawing and painting techniques to represent contemporary experiences, drawing allusions to biblical themes with subtle allegories, and to certain historical works of art that had influenced my practice. The subject matter that I work with is unfixed, and tends to shift accordingly to my experiences. Often captivated by what I saw in my immediate surroundings, my subjects can vary from interiors of a house, a hotel room, a table of things to an exterior setting with someone in a neighbourhood. I choose to paint settings that are close to home, just as Vermeer of Delft and Hammershoi of Strandgade 30 in Copenhagen. Yet, my settings are not just about the familiar, but also the imaginative and the unseen too.
My “Strange Paradise: In Ecstasy, Fantasy and Reality” is a series initiated by the first nationwide lockdown last year. When nearly everyone isolated themselves at home, I felt curious and went out for a stroll quite regularly around my neighbourhood. While the underlying mood of the series is directly taken by the sense of isolation during the lockdown, the depicted events are fictional and invented. I referenced the paintings of Edward Hopper for the creation of this series, as well as the Northern Renaissance paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Brueghel. The meaning of each works is supported by the object elements and people that were carefully composed into each setting, and is meant to strike consonance and imagination in terms of its reading and interpretation.

As artists their photographs tell a story, not just a capture of a moment in time. Their role as photographers is deciding what story to tell and what techniques to utilise to achieve this. Often the story arises from their emotional response to what is in front of them. This emotional response is reflected in how they take the photograph and the techniques used in post processing.
"A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed." Ansel Adams
