Raven brings together the works of major international painters and sculptors over two exhibitions, first in Auckland, then followed by Sydney later this year. Most works have never been seen before and the gallery is enormously grateful to those artists who have quietly embraced this opportunity – so much so that Raven has taken on a dimension and life of its own. Each of the artists seek a distilled and open reception for work that speaks quietly but sincerely to a sensate register in us that has been reduced, subjugated by the clamour and white noise that popular culture fertilizes.
