Flower Chandelier
Gaze upwards at Choi Jeong Hwa's
signature inflatable flowers as they burst
into bloom inside the Gallery's atrium.
Choi's eye-popping work turns an overabundance of petals into a joyful jumble
of flowers that spill illuminated from the
atrium's ceiling.

Extra Opportunities
for Artists
A $5,000 cash prize recognizing an excellent piece of art will be awarded to one
of 10 finalists which will be exhibited in
the Signature Piece gallery at the New
Zealand Art Show. The winner is decided
by a public vote during the show. In 2013
Ben Timmins's piece 'Paradigm Sunrise'
was the winner. The powerful painting was
1.6metre in diameter, oil on poplar wood
grain with a copper band frame. It depicts
a Blue Heron overlooking a surging river,
with a subtle Fibonacci-inspired pattern
integrated into and rising up through the
wood grain itself.
