Kristine McLaren Solo Exhibition
We are very excited to invite you and your friends to celebrate Kristine McLaren's Solo Exhibition. This is the first solo exhibition of the year so join us to start the year off with a buzz and welcome our new artist to our wonderful friends of the gallery.
Opening: Tuesday 10 February from 6-8pm
ArtSelect Gallery, 19A Osborne St, Newmarket
Kristine's art journey is inspired by tramping through lush bush, wandering golden beaches, enveloped by the hush of ancient forests, pausing beside streams and waterfalls, exploring rocky coastlines—these journeys, along with 4 years of formal art training at Browne School of Art, inform and inspire.
We've been inspired by her application of colour and movement in the creation of these impressionistic depictions of our marvelous landscapes.
See Kristine's artist page below to view the full Artist Statement and see all artwork to be shown at the exhibition:

Niels Meyer-Westfeld Solo Exhibition
Now Showing in the Back Gallery
Niels Meyer-Westfeld is launching a new book, "Feathers of Aotearoa: An Illustrated Journal" that will be on sale at ArtSelect Gallery and can be signed by the artist at the opening of his Solo Exhibition where original works of art in his book will be for sale.
​
"What's underlying my art is a passion for nature. It's one expression of it and if I would've been someone else, I would have written a song about it!
I've drawn all these feathers for this book and none have done them justice. They're just a surface representation. All these bits and barbs and all the clever things they do can't be expressed in a drawing."
​
Opening: Friday 7 November from 6-8pm
ArtSelect Gallery, 19A Osborne St, Newmarket

​
JK Reed is regarded as one of New Zealand’s leading landscape water-colourist, with works sold through-out Australasia and the United States of America.
In 1996 Keith Reed was sponsored by Fisher’s Fine Arts of Christchurch to undertake a painting and study trip to England, France and Venice. As a result his paintings now show a variety of influences from well-known tourist locations that include fishing villages, city scenes and cafe’s, Venice waterways and local New Zealand landscapes.
Born in England and emigrating to Dunedin in 1954, Keith Reed attended school at Otago Boys’ High. When only sixteen he held his first exhibition in which three-quarters of the works displayed were sold.
He moved to Christchurch in the early 1960s to attend the University Of Canterbury School Of Fine Arts, attaining his Diploma of Fine Arts in 1968. During this time he held many exhibitions through-out the South Island.
In 1969 Keith Reed started teaching, and after a year’s leave of absence in 1974 to visit galleries overseas, returned to develop a successful career as an artist.
His calendar series, depicting street scenes around the world are held by such notable persons as President Bill Clinton, NZ. Prime Minister Helen Clark, Jenny Shipley and are displayed in numerous galleries in New Zealand and overseas.
The abstract works developed from Art School influence and a keen interest in figurative and Cubistic painting. The medium of oil paint was a contrast to watercolour during those early years.

Kevin Dunkley Now Showing in the Back Gallery
We are excited to invite you and friends to celebrate Kevin Dunkley's nostalgic childhood trips in oils on canvas with quirky titles that sing a familiar song of a fond memory of a place traveled.
Kevin will be at the opening so come along and support his exceptional effort to get these works of art ready for this show.
Opening Tuesday 19 August from 6-8pm
ArtSelect Gallery, 19A Osborne St, Newmarket

Kevin’s retro subconscious trips back to his childhood, via his landscape paintings have taken on a fluency that reflects the accumulative years of dedication to paint.
Despite sell out exhibitions, Kevin remains grounded “I started out not having a clue what to do or how to do it, but by experimenting I have found a style I enjoy and I have become part of my paintings.”
Still non-specific; they are evocations of a mood rather than true recordings. Reminded of a place (or time) viewers often feel a very strong and personal connection to specific paintings.

Bernie Kirkham
Fragments Collection Solo Exhibition
Now Showing in the Back Gallery
Bernie Kirkham's Fragments Collection Solo Exhibition Artist Statement
Bernie has recently embraced a bold new direction with abstraction. As she explains, “I don't usually paint abstract art … I have really enjoyed exploring this new idea. I particularly like the textured, looser style I have used here. …"
This exploration culminates in Fragments, her current abstract exhibition at ArtSelect Gallery in Newmarket.
In these new works, layers of past imagery peek through expressive textures, inviting the viewer to uncover hidden narratives and feel the energy of transformation.
What began as a boundary pushing experiment has blossomed into a powerful artistic statement—raw, textural, and open to interpretation. The Fragments collection reflects the artist's exploration of fragmentation and transformation.
Fragments marks a milestone in Bernie’s creative evolution, where imaginative storytelling meets abstract expression—and the result is a beautifully layered invitation into her artistic world.
The works of art on display can be previewed on this web page:
