Leading New Zealand artists Brian Dahlberg, Patterson Parkin, Timon Maxey and James Watkins are joined by Italy's Carlo Mirabasso in this annual creative tour-de-force. Cubism VI presents a collection of stylish, contemporary modern day masterpieces.

This exhibition is a testament to man's affection and affiliation with the animal kingdom. An artistic acknowledgment of the companions with whom we share our homes, lives and hearts.

From time immemorial the female form has inspired, fascinated, captivated and eluded artists. The most well known painting in the world is of a woman, and whether we are viewing a Leonardo, a Picasso or an Andrew Wyeth, more often than not, the feminine is acknowledged.

Our Winter Salon unfolds as a rich tapestry of talent and colour. Against nature's backdrop of grey skies this outstanding collection is guaranteed to brighten the outlook and lift the spirits. Art inspires, and never-more-so than this year's Winter Salon. We invite you to view and enjoy over 85 exclusive new works from leading professional artists, both here and abroad.

Modern day masterpieces, traditional European oil paintings, contemporary Italian frescoes, cubism from Milano, watercolours by Sherwen and much, much more

From earliest times artists have been fascinated by the vital element of water. The water-bearer appears in the art of classical Greece and Rome signifying industry, abundance and beauty. Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci spent a life time drawing water in motion. The Impressionists, radically capturing the effects of light, gifted the world with paintings such as Renoir's Boating Party and Monet's Waterlillies.
