Tony Lane in Spain

In July, Auckland painter Tony Lane will exhibit a suite of paintings at Igrexia de Santa Maria Magdalena, a medieval church in Ribadavia, a town in the Northern Spanish province of Ourense. It is a region Lane has grown to know and to love and, when he isn’t creating paintings inspired by his surroundings, he is renovating an old farmhouse in the countryside.

To celebrate and to bring a little Spanish sunshine to Ponsonby, we are delighted to present a companion exhibition here in Auckland. In these luminous paintings, the light, colour and iconography of Northern Spain are fused with Lane’s lexicon of symbols and the familiar topography of Aotearoa.

The works range in scale from grande to pequeno (small) They are all painted in oil on gesso ground and feature hand gilded aluminium leaf frames.
