Celebrating the Heartfelt Landscapes of New Zealand In Our Backyard

Our Backyard: A Group Exhibition Celebrating the Heartfelt Landscapes of New Zealand

Turua Gallery will be presenting a new group exhibition, Our Backyard.

Opening on the 9th of May, the exhibition will showcase the cherished landscapes that form the fabric of New Zealand’s much-loved spaces.

Running until the 21st of May, it will feature a stunning collection of artworks that celebrate the places where we wander, rest, relax, explore, and call home.

Our Backyard showcases works by a talented group of six landscape artists – Georgina Hoby Scutt, Josh Lancaster, Judith Milner, Kylie Rusk, Michelle McIver, and Sean Beldon – each of whom brings a unique and distinctive approach to capturing the essence of our iconic outdoor spaces.

As landscapes often evoke deep emotional connections, Our Backyard promises to stir the heartstrings of viewers, encapsulating the profound beauty of the places we live, play, and visit.

From wild, rugged coastlines to serene, atmospheric vistas, the collection will showcase how each artist interprets the landscapes they hold dear.

Our Backyard is a celebration of the spaces that define us. These landscapes are not just places we visit; they are places that shape our memories and sense of belonging,” said Liss Wallace, owner of Turua Gallery.

“This exhibition captures the heart and soul of New Zealand, and I am thrilled to share the work of these incredibly talented artists who each bring their unique perspectives on the beauty we are lucky to call our own.”

The opening night promises to be a wonderful opportunity for art lovers to meet some of the talented artists featured in the exhibition. You’ll be able to chat with them about their creative process, the inspiration behind their works, and the personal connections they have with the landscapes they’ve chosen to portray.

Don’t miss out on this exceptional opportunity to experience the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand through the eyes of some of the country’s most respected landscape artists.
