OUR exhibitions

These two characters, Wallace Sutherland’s bronze ‘Talking Heads’, are off to their forever home in Wanganui. The legacy works, made in 1987 & 1988 respectively, came from the artists private collection so it was lovely to see them go to a couple who will appreciate them as much as we have. . . . #parkergallerynelson #sculpture #bronze #contemporaryart #artgallery #wallacesutherland #privatecollection #newhome #talkingheads #nelsonartist #nelsonnz #nelsonshines

Great to have a visit today from artist Natchez Hudson, based in Wellington, NZ. His colourful contemporary landscapes are the current highlight in our front window, and if you haven’t seen these meticulously painted works, they are well worth the visit! . . . #parkergallerynelson #art #contemporaryart #painting #natchezhudson #nelsonnz #artgallery #landscapepainting #colour #nelsonshines #ilovemyjob

Please join us for our Q&A with Lisa Chandler and Anne Braunsteiner this Saturday at 1.30pm. Alternatively, come and celebrate with us at the Finissage (closing party) held on Wednesday, March 21st at 5.30pm when the full 50 work installation will be on show. . . . #parkergallerynelson #lisachandlerartist #artgallery #contemporaryart #nelsonnz #installationart #floortalk #exhibition #newzealandart
Lisa Chandler has added 12 more paintings to her installation ‘Traces of the Past’. These are a unique offering from Lisa, and an incredible opportunity to own one of her original works in a smaller size than her usual large scale paintings. We also have one of those available (pictured left!) . . . #lisachandlerartist #parkergallerynelson #contemporaryart #artgallery #nelsonnz #installationart #art #madeinnewzealand #tracemonoprint #paintings
Thanks to the diligent efforts of Lee Woodman, Lisa Chandler’s gorgeous exhibition ‘Traces of the Past’ is ready to go! Come and see the first selection of works in her giant grid from tomorrow at 10am. Twelve new works will be added every week until the Closing Party/Finissage on the 21st of March, when a total of 50 works will be on display (minus any collected artworks).
Due to the predicted weather here in Nelson, Parker Gallery will be CLOSED on Tuesday 20th February. The gallery will be in fine form as usual, but as our children’s schools are closing and our home street (Rock’s Road) is also going to be closed from 10-4, this decision has been made with family in mind. See you all on Wednesday!
