Gothic shadows, werewolves and Old Masters collide in Jason Greig: Blood Is Thicker.
In a twist on the classic survey, this landmark exhibition pairs Ōtautahi Christchurch artist Jason Greig’s darkly compelling works with gothic masterpieces by Goya, Redon and other nineteenth-century visionaries.
Together, they reveal a dark lineage where printer’s ink flows like blood through art history’s veins. Greig is the romantic, old soul of Aotearoa New Zealand art, and his figurative monoprints and paintings are deeply immersed in literary, historical and mythical themes.
Curated by Aaron Lister and Chelsea Nichols – the exhibition runs 31 October until 26 April at Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū.
