Happy Travels

by Kate White

Date: May 2 – May 15Space: Small Gallery

A collection of oil portraits of the damned. Bringing light to the story of those captured, freighted, starved, drenched, brought to this land, released, left, established, devalued, turned on, hunted, poisoned, and reclassified as unwanted. The show presents the foil of 19th century optimism against the current prevailing mindset, and seeks to shake out some empathy for beings abandoned, in the middle of the ocean, to this fate.

Kate White is an illustrator, portrait and fine artist.

She has held 11 solo and 2 duo exhibitions and had work in over 40 national and local group exhibitions including the Parkin Drawing Awards, the NZ Portrait Gallery, the Hawke’s Bay Reviews and the Big Apple Project.
