Anto Yeldezian is a Tāmaki-based artist of Armenian heritage, who works amongst an expanded painting practice that often leans into methodologies of printmaking. Utilising methods of monoprinting, and stencils, along with a playful use of paint and material exploration.

Within his current solo show Desert Island on at Coastal Signs, Yeldezian presents a series of 7 large scale works on raw loose canvas. Installed in a manner in which the works almost engulf the gallery walls, and bring the space into a continuous field of symbols, and marks. 

The works themselves harness this heavy use of motifs, and symbols as a kind of centering point to the show. The references include camels, palm trees, oil pump-jacks, Homer Simpson's thirsty bird'; ancient fossils, the triple Gs of Canterbury Clothing Company, union jacks and logos of American defence and oil companies. 

Through the making of the work Yeldezian takes these symbols and applies them to various painterly techniques that almost pull them away from their own inherent meanings/references and into this place of a pattern-like language with its own set of meanings.

Maya caught up with Anto about the show as well as his overall practice.

Zac Langdon-Pole is a Tāmaki-based artist whose primarily sculptural-based practice explores contrasting concepts and imagery, proposing unlikely juxtapositions into these often hybrid forms. 

His current solo exhibition at Lett Thomas Gallery, Caterpillar Soup,  presents a series of jigsaw puzzle collages, whereby the artist has placed the pieces of puzzles to make these combined collaged images. Imagery of warfare, volcanic matter, nature, and diagnostic imaging melded together, creating this almost pixelated, technological material language, the works question what these juxtaposing forms could mean in conversation with each other. 

Sof caught up with Zac about the show at Lett Thomas and his wider practice. They also touched briefly on his project currently showing at the Domain Wintergardens titled Memory Garden (The Kiss).

Filling in for Huia today (don't worry, she'll be back next week). 

This week's Fancy New Band is self-described "Tāmaki chorus pedal dealership" Young Baptist playing forthcoming singles and a bFM classic, live and direct from the bFM studio and brought to you by NZ on Air Music. 

Thanks to The Tuning Fork

This week Sofie flies solo, sans Jude! Joined by the wonderful Gabi, the show storms through the miserable weather with some sunny feel-good tracks and a sprinkling of English & Russian Post Punk. 

Heaven is the place where nothing ever happens, ya frothers! Heaven is the mighty B. ⛅🧘💫🌌🪄
