OUR exhibitions

Thanks to all of the wonderful people who came along to the opening of 'Aqua Ingravitas' last night. The exhibition is on for the next three weeks, and during this time we will be fundraising for Jose's chosen charity, the Women's Refuge.
Congratulations Sean Garwood! A great opening preview well supported by Christchurch and Nelson buyers. Parker Gallery will have framed archival prints available once the dust settles, so watch this space. . . . @seangarwoodclassicfineart @weheartchristchurch @antarcticheritage #fineart #painting #parkergallerynelson #art #antarctica #newzealandart #artgallery #artexhibition
In Christchurch for the opening of Sean Garwood's 'Antarctica' exhibition and the first thing I saw were these giant (yet to be painted) spray paint cans. There is art everywhere in this city and if there ever was an upside to catastrophe, perhaps it is the way this city has reinvented itself with art. I'd love one of these outside @parkergallerynelson!
Our next exhibition features the stunning underwater dancers by photographer, Jose G. Cano. Opens on Friday 13th October, 90 Achilles Avenue, Nelson, NZ. . . . #parkergallerynelson #parkergallery #photography #josegcano #artexhibition #nelsonnz #underwaterphotography #dancers #artgallery #art #contemporaryart #newzealand #photographer

Look at these beautiful asymmetrical vessels from Nelson-based ceramicist Ingrid Firmin... The perfectly-imperfect expression of style and function (sculpture, vase, pouring jug - the list goes on!)
David Carson - 'Palisade on Block'. This interactive, movable sculpture has an Elm base and uses timber from the bench of a Nelson wood merchant... The perfect blend of history with contemporary form. . . . #contemporaryart #sculpture #davidcarsonart #woodworking #nelsonnz #parkergallery #art

Here's a peak at our current show 'I'd Rather Go Home Hungry' which is on for the next three weeks. The exhibition includes large scale paintings, sculptures and photography, in what could be described as a "group show by Dan Campion"!
An exciting moment today unpacking a brand new work by Jason Hale Tillman!
Thanks to James Brown from TWIGG Art, our resident tree now looks like a joyful work of public sculpture! His colourful globes are also available inside the gallery, priced from $300-360.
Continuing our line-up of great midwinter shows, Parker Gallery is proud to bring you Dan Campion's 'I'd Rather Go Home Hungry'. Opens Thursday, 27th July at 5.30pm. All welcome!
What goes up... The grand finale of 'Yellow Yellow' came with a pair of hedge clippers! Thanks to all the visitors who came to the exhibition, and to Lee Woodman for producing such a wonderful winter show. Next up is 'I'd Rather Go Home Hungry' by Dan Campion.
