We are just delighted that two of our upcoming exhibiting artists – Tim Jones’ and Catherine Roberts, have their latest body of work eatured in the JUNE/JULY issue of the HOME Magazine.
The feature includes an image of the titular painting in Tim Jones’ ‘Quo Vadis’, an engaging tondo that glows from within its warm palette of golden mustard hues, contrasted by striking ravines of muted steely teal-blue and white. Jones titled the painting and the exhibition, ‘Quo Vadis’, meaning “Where are you going?” in Latin, serving as a poignant invitation from the artist to make space for introspection.
In a recent conversation with Jones, he described how the process of creating this painting invited contemplation, and that in naming the piece it felt fitting to offer the same meaning as the exhibition as a whole. He says, “Traditionally, there is often one piece in the show whose title matches that of the exhibition. This painting has qualities that invite the viewer to contemplate the timeless question of direction and purpose in life”.

Catherine Roberts exhibition is described by editor, Clare Chapman, beautifully as follows:
“As if layered entanglements, symphonic silken billows mingle with potent, smokey wisps of colour creating an arresting sense of alchemy in the work of Wellington artist Catherine Roberts. Naturalistic land forms are translated into surreal, dream-like sequences of sublime abstraction.
Working with mixed media on canvas, Catherine approaches each painting with an acceptance of serendipity; areas of paint move unhindered and colours are given reign to compose themselves. “My work is the result of an intuitive dialogue, between artist and canvas, with no set intentions, but with a purpose to captivate the viewer, to carry on the conversation,” Catherine says.”
