Cindy Leong is a Tāmaki-based painter whose practice probes abstraction as a medium for meditation. Driven by Eastern philosophy, the works cultivate a quality of stillness, inviting a quiet contemplation whereby time is paused for a moment of equanimity – enticing a reflection of the self and the surrounding forces of our environments that sit in tension and harmony with one another. For Leong, her artmaking process is just as meditative as she intends the works to be received.
Her solo exhibition, A Moment’s Interlude, opens tonight at Public Record. Each work taking the form of a diptych, Leong applies muted, monochromatic colours drawn from nature, combining oil with incense ash on linen to build these textural paintings. Her mark-making moves across the canvas unrestrained in tension with the grid that holds the structure of their form.
Ahead of the exhibition’s opening, Sofia had a kōrero with Cindy Leong about A Moment’s Interlude and her overall practice.
Louise Bourgeois: In Private View is a new exhibition currently on view at The Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. Louise Bourgeois born in 1911, was a French-American artist with a career spanning seven decades of her life, one of the great figures within modern art. She was best known for her large-scale sculptural work and installations, but also had a practice within drawing, painting, prints and fabric work. Bourgeois work often dealt with these psychologically charged themes of memory, family, the body and the subconscious—commonly drawing from her own personal memories and childhood.
Louise Bourgeois: In Private View, showcases work from a never publicly exhibited before private collection. This intimate collection showcases works that span over six decades of her career. From early paintings, to a closer look at her iconic spider series, her sculpture of hanging spiraled entangled limbs, The couple, to later fabric work made in the final years of her life. A beautiful and intimate showcase of Louise Bourgeois work through time.
