Kevin Dunkley
Solo Exhibition Now Showing

Kevin Dunkley
Kevin's retro subconscious trips back to his childhood, via his landscape paintings, have taken on a fluency that reflects the accumulative years of dedication to paint.
Despite sell-out exhibitions, Kevin remains grounded, "I started out not having a clue what to do or how to do it but by experimenting I have found a style I enjoy and I have become part of my paintings."
Still non-specific; they are invocations of a mood rather than true recordings. Reminded of a place (or time) viewers often feel a strong and personal connection to specific paintings.
The works of art on display can be previewed on this web page:

Contact me, Ngaire, on any of my contact details below to register your interest to purchase any of these works of art before the opening.
We look forward to seeing you and your guests at the opening reception and during the exhibition.
JK Reed
Now Showing in the Back Gallery
We are excited to invite you to the opening celebration of JK Reed's solo exhibition.
Date: Friday 19 July 6pm - 8pm
Venue: ArtSelect Gallery, 19A Osborne St, Newmarket
RSVP to Ngaire info@artselect.gallery
New Zealand Water-colour Artist JK Reed is regarded as one of New Zealand’s leading landscape water-colourist, with works sold through-out Australasia and the United States of America.
In 1996 Keith Reed was sponsored by Fisher’s Fine Arts of Christchurch to undertake a painting and study trip to England, France and Venice. As a result his paintings now show a variety of influences from well-known tourist locations that include fishing villages, city scenes and cafe’s, Venice waterways and local New Zealand landscape.
Born in England and emigrating to Dunedin in 1954, Keith Reed attended school at Otago Boys’ High. When only sixteen he held his first exhibition in which three-quarters of the works displayed were sold.
He moved to Christchurch in the early 1960s to attend the University Of Canterbury School Of Fine Arts, attaining his Diploma of Fine Arts in 1968. During this time he held many exhibitions through-out the South Island.
In 1969 Keith Reed started teaching, and after a year’s leave of absence in 1974 to visit galleries overseas, returned to develop a successful career as an artist.
His paintings, depicting street scenes around the world are held by notable persons as ex-President Bill Clinton, ex-Prime Minister Helen Clark, Jenny Shipley and are displayed in numerous galleries in New Zealand and overseas.
The abstract works developed from Art School influence and a keen interest in figurative and Cubistic painting. The medium of oil paint was a contrast to watercolour during those early years.

Bernie Kirkham
On Show in the Back Gallery
We are excited to invite you to the opening celebration of Bernie Kirkham's solo exhibition:
Date: Tuesday 18 June 6pm - 8pm
Venue: ArtSelect Gallery, 19A Osborne St, Newmarket
RSVP to Ngaire info@artselect.gallery
Bernie Kirkham takes us on a journey into a different world, captured by her imagination and interpreted on canvas.
Elements of steampunk and whimsical art works will enhance your reality and transform your spaces, an island theme which leads on from some of my earlier work but there is a bit of an environmental statement such as rising sea levels in some of these with the islands on stilts.
Bernie's an acrylic artist with imaginative and illustrative works being her forte.
Her colourful paintings and distinctive style emanate joy, freedom and adventure.
She's a story teller and her paintings tell a story about the journey of life.
