Clive Humphreys - Between Showers

5 April - 12 May 2024

Clive Humphreys is a printmaker and painter with work represented in many private and public collections, including Auckland City Art Gallery, Te Papa Wellington, Dunedin Public Art Gallery, The Hocken Gallery, Sarjeant Gallery, Otago University, and Christchurch City Gallery.

Over the last decade, the works’ focus has been on black and white watercolour and charcoal drawing to explore the primeval process of forest and landscape on Waiheke Island where the artist now lives.

His fascination with watercolour was the result of a research visit to London in 2012 and this medium’s layered transparency is evident in his recent return to acrylics and colour.

His early stencil-making experience in printmaking has informed the technical development in his current painting methods.

Clive graduated from Kingston College of Art and Design, London, in 1970.
Since then, he has exhibited extensively. In 2015, he was the recipient of a
National Tertiary Teaching Excellence Award and awarded an Honorary Master
of Fine Arts in 2020.
