Event Details
Mar 13
Muse Art Gallery
Join Anna Evans and the team at Muse to celebrate the opening of Nine Muses, a new suite of paintings inspired by the nine muses of Greek mythology.
Anna’s richly detailed paintings of gardens, or perhaps wild nature, we’re never entirely sure, are drawn entirely from imagination. She describes the process of painting them as a kind of remembering. Each work unfolds like a dreamlike landscape, where jewel-like colour and carefully orchestrated flora hint at other art forms beyond painting, including poetry, music and dance. Her work has often been described as magical realism, which seems very apt for images so vividly realised and yet so dream-like.
Join us for the opening, meet the artist, and enjoy a drink and nibbles while immersing yourself in these extraordinary gardens.
With thanks to Te Mata Estate Winery and Giant Brewing Company for keeping the drinks flowing.
