‘Mavis 8’ by Haydn Rive – 9 September – 7 October

Haydn was born in Whangarei and is a practising artist and tutor at the WSA, Hamilton. Haydn grew up in Dunedin and gained his Diploma in Fine Arts in Christchurch. From there he worked as a graphic artist with WNTV1 – Wellington while also tutoring History of Art at Wellington High night school. Haydn taught Art at Cambridge High and also was HOD at St. Peter’s school. “My premise is simple,” says Haydn, “I want to show that order and beauty still exist. I believe there is a renaissance happening in artists wanting to produce good art that is honest and well produced which also honours traditional methods.
