The next exhibition at the Studio One Toi Tū pop-up on Karangahape Road is opening next week, containing 24 portraits of local artists who themselves have created other portraits of artists in the exhibition. 

The exhibition was curated by Lindsey Horne, who also has both a portrait she created and a portrait of herself featured. I had a chat with Lindsey, as well as other featured artists Ritchie Adamson and Hugo van Dorrser about the portraits. 

If you happen to be in Te Whanganui-a Tara, you can see the pieces now at Twentysix gallery, but if you’re up here in Tāmaki you can head over to the opening next Wednesday, the 10th of May.
