Gallery 9 is delighted to present Tira Walsh‘s exhibition Stealth-mode.

Tira Walsh is an emerging artist who lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand. Her work has been reviewed in Art Collector Magazine in 2020.

Stealth-mode reflects Tira Walsh’s recent output, synthesising abstract painting, urban environments, and power relations into pictorial worlds where the logic is order versus havoc.

Other exhibitions include Next, Sydney Contemporary (2019), Sydney, Hustle, Two Rooms Gallery, Auckland (2019), Urbanize, Te Po Gallery (2018); Never An Answer, 12 Abstract Painters, The Vivian, Matakana, curated by Linda Tyler and Lucinda Bennett (2018); Drawcard, State Gallery, Mt Eden, Auckland (2018); My Hands are Visibly Soiled, Snowwhite Gallery, Unitec, Auckland (2018); Roundhouse, TSB Bank Wallace Arts Centre, Auckland (2017-2018); Glaister Ennor Art Award Exhibition, Sanderson Contemporary, Auckland (2017).
