Tina Frantzen

13 December - 24 December
Opening at Satellite on: Tuesday 13 December 5:30 – 7pm

Satellite exhibition opening hours 10am - 6pm Monday - Friday, 10am - 3pm Saturday

Since she began painting six years ago, Tina Frantzen has been exhibiting consistently and has had three solo shows previously at Satellite Gallery. (www.satellitegallery.co.nz).  Her works are held in private collections as well as that of the James Wallace Trust.

She paints intuitively using the qualities of light to illuminate elusive and enigmatic figures, the details of each being unknown to her before painting commences, so that with each work there is a process of discovery.  By not titling the pieces, Tina shares this sense of discovery with her audience who are free to interpret each painting as they wish.

This exhibition is a continuing evolution of her work.

“They don’t go for grandeur or savagery or the latest thing from overseas. They are challenging since they set the imagination at work and they do have that eminently approachable quality of delight”.
