Local As exhibition showcases Tairāwhiti artists in Gisborne

The works of three artists are on display in an exhibition entitled Local As (locals only) – Life in Tairāwhiti past and present, which is running at the Tairāwhiti Museum until July 27.

Scott Gardiner, Gene Paul Walker and Jason Braybrook’s artworks are varied and showcase a range of themes.

Keen surfer Gardiner is described on the museum’s website as having “a diverse art practice encompassing painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture”.

“[Braybrook] works primarily in paint, enveloping a wide variety of themes, but more recently he has focused on the concept of tūrangawaewae – home and place and its wider meaning and significance.”
