EP 30 Seraphine Pick


Listen Later

In this episode, I visit Seraphine Pick at her home and studio in Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.

Seraphine has conducted a practice for over 30 years, in that time always exploring and evolving subject matter, use of materials and her overall approach to painting. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections, including The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, The Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū and the Dowse Art Museum, and she has been the recipient of several awards and residencies, including the Rita Angus Artist Residency.

Seraphine holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Ilam School of Fine Arts at the University of Canterbury.

She is represented by Michael Lett Gallery in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland and Station Gallery in Naarm, Melbourne and Gadigal, Sydney.

There are images of the paintings that we talk about on The Good Oil Seraphine Pick Instagram Post for your reference.

In the episode you’ll hear Seraphine speak about a want to not know how to approach a new mode of making to keep her practice interesting, her collaborations with ceramicist Jaime Jenkins and how that is influencing her practice, the sound and silence of her paintings, a want to more and more make paintings into objects and the need to see human vulnerability in paintings in the age of AI.
