At the Cable Bay winery on Waiheke Island we have an Artspace within the main building and an outdoor space for large sculpture works.
Currently on exhibition outside we have a range of works from artists including Phil Price, Kon Dimopoulos, Gregor Kregar and many others.
In the Artspace we have worked with Gow Langsford Gallery (www.gowlangsfordgallery.com) on an exhibition of Dick Frizzell works (Pictured: My Mums Pav 2009). New Zealand born and bred, Dick Frizzell has often slipped through the nets of traditional critical and curatorial definition and the success of his artistic career is, in part, due to the number of dramatic diversions he has made between different art styles and genres. Before moving into visual arts Frizzell worked in advertising. He has worked as an animator, commercial artist and illustrator and has no qualms about blurring the categories between his commercial work and art. His paintings are often a pastiche of images drawing on modern art and graphic design.
His taste is conveniently broad and he has a penchant for fondly remembered and well-worn clichés. His work also portrays a sense of exuberance, ironic humour and baby-boomer nostalgia.
The Cable Bay Artspace and general grounds are open for casual visitors from 12noon until 5pm everyday.
