Gothic shadows, werewolves and old masters collide.

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 19th-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 Dr Chelsea Nichols, Jason Greig: Blood is Thicker has been developed in partnership by The Dowse Art Museum and City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi.
