Bergman Gallery are thrilled to announce that Matthew Payne will be the Artist in Residence at Aitutaki, Cook Islands in May 2025!

Renowned for his refined realism, Matthew Payne undertakes a residency on Aitutaki, immersing himself in the island’s luminous lagoon and surrounding motu. This preparatory visit forms the genesis of Arauraenua, a new body of work that captures the sensual interplay of colour, light, and atmosphere unique to this storied atoll.

Payne’s upcoming exhibition opens at Bergman Gallery, Rarotonga in October 21.
