Hawkes Bay artist Robyn Fleet coming up in May at the Frame Gallery

Outside-Inside is a celebration of identity. Who do we think we are? This is a solo show by Robyn Fleet.

No matter our race, colour or creed we are built of layers of memory, experiences and events. Fleet works methodically yet intuitively setting up relationships through multiple layers of paint, using oil sticks and oil paints to create saturated colour and depth; inspired by colour, the materiality of paint itself and what its possibilities are.

As Robyn Fleet says, β€œIn this body of work I have focused on the land, the people and our animals, using old family photographs, memory and my current surroundings. These works are emotive, atmospheric, life and layers, layer up on layer of events, memories and experiences. A celebration of our Tangata Whenua, our visitors, our land and our animals. What makes you who you are?”

As Zekiah Heath says, "Its going to be a really exciting and highly anticipated show, Robyn's very first solo show ever. She has been building this body of work for six months, featuring her iconic faceless portraits and moody landscapes."
