Séraphine Pick is one of Aotearoa’s most celebrated painters, with a career spanning 30 years in which Pick investigates human experience through the material language of paint.
Her paintings circulate this tension between figuration and its collapse, often bringing the figure forth into her ethereal compositions and then dissolving them back into themselves.
This new body of work presented within Paintingscontinues Pick's exploration of material dissolution and figural density, displaying a rich navigation of material applications. Each work leans into its own materiality, some soft and delicate, while others thick and textural. An act of deep listening and responding to the paintings themselves, with pic circling back to former ways of making through a new lens.
Maya had a kōrero with Séraphine about the show and overall practice.
