Experience the mysterious and fantastic worlds conjured by Wellington-based painter John Walsh. Drawn from some of Wellington’s best private collections, Flying Solo reveals Walsh as a painter of emblematic narratives, who reworks mythological, historical and contemporary events in a highly personal manner.

A painter of liquid skies and fluid landscapes, of birds who rule with claw and beak, of mischievous gods akin to carved pou, John Walsh creates eerie yet strangely familiar worlds. Within them Maori mythology, history and contemporary happenings intermingle, creating a series of open-ended narratives that intrigue and provoke.
