Paul Maseyk’s latest exhibition is an exploration of New Zealand painting through the lens of ceramic art.

Known for his distinctive style and technical skill, Maseyk has created a series of ceramic jugs inspired by vessels depicted in paintings from some of Aotearoa’s most celebrated artists.

Each jug is displayed alongside the painting that inspired it, either on loan or reproduced from collections across Aotearoa.

The result is a unique conversation between mediums, inviting visitors to consider the everyday objects that populate our visual culture.

The Waikato Connection

Following earlier exhibitions at Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery and the Dowse Art Museum, this iteration of the exhibition has a distinctly Waikato focus.

Maseyk has created new works inspired by artists and paintings with strong ties to the region from Te Whare Taonga o Waikato’s collection.

Featured artists include Ida Carey, Margot Philips, Joanna Margaret Paul, Melvin Day, John Weeks, Michael Smither, Don Binney, Stanley Palmer, Raymond McIntyre, Adele Younghusband, and Louise Henderson.
