Helen Ollivier: Are We There Yet?

10–24 June, Parnell Gallery, Auckland

In her latest exhibition, Are We There Yet?, contemporary painter Helen Ollivier invites viewers to experience the intimate grandeur of Aotearoa’s diverse landscapes through a contemplative lens that explores our relationship with journey and destination.

What sets Ollivier’s work apart is her use of asymmetrical balance and compositional tension: tracks that disappear, looming drop-offs, or obstacles in view. Are We There Yet? offers a reflective space where anticipation meets presence. In tracing unknown paths, Ollivier reminds us that beauty lies not only in the destination but, more importantly, in the journey itself. parnellgallery.co.nz
