Populated places and cityscapes converge with backyards, factories and remote railway stops in this fascinating survey of twentieth-century Aotearoa New Zealand artists exploring urban, suburban and industrial landscapes.

From Here on the Ground features works from Christchurch Art Gallery’s collection supplemented by loans from private and public lenders around the country.
