From Dubai to Devonport
Current exhibitor Mohad Ben Fahmi is an established and widely travelled painter between the Arabic world and Aotearoa, which has seen him design murals for Dubai International Airport and participate in five Sharjah Biennials.
Having spent many years living in Dubai, he is once again based in Tāmaki Makaurau and this exhibition of NZ landscapes showcases his unique spectrum of color and light as a starting point for vivid impressions which vibrate with movement, defying expectations of passive scenery.

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
