Stanley Palmer is one of New Zealand's most respected and enduring artists. Best known for his editioned prints, monoprints and paintings, he is strongly associated with locations along and off the east coast: Parengarenga Harbour, Matauri Bay, the Poor Knights Islands, Great Barrier Island, the Mahurangi Peninsula. Many of his classic prints are of Auckland city in the 1970s, before motorways divided the city and the old areas of Newton and Ponsonby became gentrified. More recent works focus on the easternmost parts of New Zealand - the East Cape area and the Chatham Islands. East is a sampling of 136 of Stanley Palmer's works ranging across four decades. From early woodcuts through Palmer's unique bamboo engravings, to his delicate monoprints and evocative paintings, this extensive selection celebrates the work of one of our most-loved and prolific artists and also our own edge of the Pacific.
