Hannah Kidds ability to create a dialogue between her works and the viewer combined with an innate sense of form, character and personality singles her out as one of the countrys foremost young sculptors. Kidd has quickly risen to critical acclaim with her distinctive work being exhibited around the world including Im Sure Ive Seen that Before, Vienna, Austria (2002), Sculpture by the Sea, Australia (2007, 2009 and 2011), Sculpture by the Sea, Denmark (2009 and 2011).

Her work was the subject of a major survey exhibition in 2005 under the curation of Justin Paton (then of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery) and Felicity Milburn (Christchurch Art Gallery).

Chilly Bin ShotMatt Guild

Hayden Stuart who attended Rathkeale College under the tutorship of Evan Jones, would be classified as one of our emerging contemporary artists. In 2014, he completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours, at Monash University, Melbourne. Consistently sceptical of his position as an artist and an individual, his work often confuses the idea of authorship through ironic self-reflection. Hayden has held solo and group exhibitions in Melbourne and is an independent curator there.

Matt Guild is a Martinborough based artist whose works would be considered as photorealism. His paintings are about light, shadows, reflections and environment. All of Matts paintings have an element of still-life, taking an object, often seemingly mundane, using that as the main focal point and injecting new emotional life into it. Matt loves to paint anything that draws on the nostalgic emotional history of our childhood. In 2015 his Kiwiana oil painting Spaghetti Open Can won the coveted NZ Art Show Signature Piece Art Award.

He lives in rural Carterton, north-east of Wellington, where his studio looks onto the foothills of the Tararua mountain range. Art and the great outdoors were features of Crawfords childhood.

Jenna Packer explores the political, economic and social constructs that shape contemporary society at both global and local levels. She employs a rich, metaphoric language, confronting the viewer with questions about the seen and unseen forces that control our day-to-day lives.

Jenna Packer has emerged as a painter who bids comparison with her sometime contemporaries, in particular Shane Cotton, Bill Hammond and Seraphine Pick. (Art NZ, No. 152)

Still Life with Poppy Seedheads 2010

Helene Carroll

So, so Homesick 2002Helene Carroll

Helene was born in Paris. Her parents and her mothers father were the only family members who survived the Nazi concentration camps. In 1949, Helene came to NZ with her mother and father when the opportunity arose for Jewish refugees to come to NZ. So, so Homesick is one of 16 paintings from the series, The Tyranny of Self-Imposed Exile, completed when Helene was in Indonesia in 2007 and 2008 and is a response to living in an exotic but totally different and alien culture and then feeling torn between returning to Australia, where her children and grandchildren live, or succumbing to the strong pull of Aotearoa.

Still Life with Poppy Seedheads comes from Helenes series Thinking about Matisse. Matisse used familiar objects from his own environment to create domestic scenes.
