Chris Wise: Aotearoa Art Fair 2026

Chris Wise is a UK born Australian abstract painter. His presentation at the Aotearoa Art Fair is the result of an artist residency in the awe-inspiring landscape of New Zealand’s South Island. Through the physicality of action painting in the landscape and his connection to the place he finds himself in, Wise works intuitively and unrestrainedly, yet remains deeply attentive to the forces around him. The resulting works are an abstracted response to landscape, in collaboration with it.
