Gow Langsford is pleased to present an exhibition of artworks by Richard Killeen. The exhibition includes seven of Killeen’s distinctive cut-outs, which range in date from 1981 to 2002. Killeen’s cut-outs are among the most iconic and best-known examples of Post-modern art practice in Aotearoa. Technically, these works break down distinctions between painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation. Similarly, their content defies taxonomic categories, bringing together portraits, symbolism, depictions of animals and flora, objects such as books and clothing, fragments of architecture and insects.

Laurence Simmons considers the artist's transformative use of the insect.
