City Activations
Heather Straka Activation at Partridge, Auckland
To coincide with Aotearoa Art Fair, Starkwhite brings Heather Straka to Partridge Jewellers. Her large-scale eyes — rendered with absolute technical mastery — stop you in your tracks before you’ve even entered the store. Who is looking at whom?
Straka is one of New Zealand’s most compelling painters, known for work that is as seductive as it is unsettling. Her immaculate figures invite the gaze, then turn it back on the viewer — exposing the politics of looking in the most aesthetically delightful way.
Patridge is a Major Partner of the Aotearoa Art Fair.
