Artists On Artists - capturing each other's creative moment

From Standing Room Only, 1:47 pm on 8 May 2022

A new exhibition in Auckland aims to bring the visual artists out from behind the camera and canvas and into the spotlight.  The people involved have photographed, painted, even collaged other artists in the same show,

The Artists on Artists show includes Māori, Samoan, Chinese, Pākehā, Sri Lankan, Filipino, Czech and Middle Eastern artists, who've each come up with a portrait of one of the other participants.

Lynn Freeman spoke to the curator Lindsey Horne whose work also features in the exhibition alongside another of the artists,  photographer Abhi Chinniah, 

Lindsey says she had the idea in the midst of last year's winter lockdown.

Artists on Artists opens at Toi Tu in Tāmaki Makauru Auckland on the 12th of May.
