KINA gallery is thrilled to offer Taranaki art lovers the unique opportunity to purchase some special pieces by one of New Zealand’s leading artists – Tom Mutch.

The work in this show dates back to when Tom Mutch lived in Taranaki. Two Limited Edition screen prints are also for sale in this exhibition, dating back to the same year Mutch won the TSB Art Award and whilst he was a member of TACO (Taranaki Arts Co Operative).

In an act of philanthropic spirit, these pieces were originally purchased directly from Mutch himself to fund his residency as an artist in London. Now the current owner believes it’s time to release them back into the art world for other Mutch lovers in the Taranaki community to enjoy.

This is a rare opportunity to view a piece of history - work created at a time Mutch was living in Taranaki and painting alongside his mentor, Michael Smither. This is also a chance for art lovers to purchase some highly collectable pieces that rarely come up for sale.

‘Thanks for the Memories’ is on show at the KINA gallery for one week only – Friday 15^th January until Wednesday 20^th Jan, 2010.
