Combining two of his loves – paintings and jugs – Paul Maseyk has made over 60 jugs modelled from the jugs seen in New Zealand paintings that he found by sifting through collections, magazines, and across the internet. Jugs in New Zealand Painting brings together some of these paintings from collections around Aotearoa, spanning a wide art-historical canon, from Colin McCahon to Joanna Margaret Paul; Frances Hodgkins to Francis Upritchard; Edith Collier to Milan Mrkusich.
This exhibition has been produced in partnership with The Dowse Art Museum, and would not have been possible without the support of Creative New Zealand Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa.
