Jaimee Peters | Block Out: {Suite} Ponsonby
Jaimee Peters (Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa) is a Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington-based painter and this will be her first solo exhibition at {Suite} in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland.
"Peter's work draws from architectural images - public buildings, galleries and institutional structures - whose linear planes are abstracted and reconfigured through unexpected colour to render new forms, part-real and part-imagined.
Her selection of buildings range from local structures to examples of celebrated international 'destination architecture'. She is intrigued by the power these institutions and their materialisation as architecture hold but there is also a subtle ambivalence underpinning her painterly response. The paintings are emptied of most contextual details, transformed into fractured, ambiguous interiors which still flirt with representation."
