Gretchen Albrecht is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s preeminent painters. Over the course of her seven-decade career she has continued to paint, focusing on the intersection of colour, movement and form.

Liquid States is a survey exhibition curated by James Gatt that examines works produced by Albrecht in the 1970s and ’80s. The exhibition is showing at Te Uru Gallery from November 3rd, and also marks Te Uru’s ten year anniversary.

Beth spoke to Gretchen about her work and connection to Titirangi in the 1970s.

Permissions is Artspace Aotearoa’s annual exhibition which commissions three early career emerging artists living in Tāmaki Makaurau, this year showing the works of Yana Dombrowsky-M'Baye, Dayle Palfreyman, and August Ward.
