Showcase
Each month we profile a special work from the stockroom. This month’s selection:
Sleeping in the Streets
A response to issues of inequality in Aotearoa, as the artist notes on the back of the painting. He juxtaposes the dire situation of the homeless, against the celebration of housing investors, in programmes like Grand Designs. At the time this was painted in 2025, many regions of New Zealand were inundated with heavy rain, flooding through houses, rendering more people homeless. The artist provides shelter in a grand design, for homeless to doss down.
The Diversion Gallery exhibits fine art by leading New Zealand contemporary artists, in a stylish gallery on the waterfront in Picton/Waitohi, Marlborough.
We offer paintings, drawings, sculpture and fine art prints by some of New Zealand’s most collectible fine artists. Many are acclaimed senior or mid-career artists of national and international repute, and whose work is held in major public galleries and private collections; from time to time we introduce emerging artists of distinctive talent. We also have a selection of superb pieces by New Zealand fine art jewellers.
We ship nationally and internationally.
The gallery is open Wednesday-Saturday 10am-4pm, other times by appointment.
