These paintings on display at a recent exhibition we attended at Wunderkammer in Auckland, are stunning. Elam graduate New Zealand artist Kiri Gillespie, uses wood as her primary canvas for her works, in which she uses paints to enhance the natural quality of the wood whilst depicting her subject. Citing illusion, mockery, absence, disguise, romance, drama, memory and heritage as ideas behind her paintings - we suggest you wander down and take a look.
