Turua Gallery
Turua Gallery is all about demystifying the notion of contemporary art. We offer a relaxed space that welcomes you to freely appreciate the creative works of fellow New Zealanders. You’ll encounter the works of both established and emerging artists through the solo and group exhibitions we host, alongside many opportunities to start collecting the special pieces that speak to you.
Beyond the canvas, Turua Gallery holds a wide range of limited-edition prints, sculptures, and ceramics - a broad selection of truly exceptional talent. We are so proud to support some of the amazing artists our country has to offer. Come in and discover uniquely captured experiences of Aotearoa in our beautifully curated collection of contemporary New Zealand art.
We are over the moon to share with you that we know represent the very talented Lester Hall.
A print-maker from Wellington whose art packs a political punch! Lester has immersed himself in New Zealand's rich history and the vibrant mix of Maori, European, and Pacific cultures through thought-provoking pieces.
Describing himself as an outsider artist and social commentator, Lester forms his art through conversation with himself. In the past, he has worked as a design and display technician with a major collection of Maori and Pacific artifacts at the Auckland Institute and Museum - which no doubt contributes greatly to the topic of national identity and personal philosophy that inspires his prints.
Head to Lester's page to see his collection of iconic works.
