Conflicted; The latest exhibition of work by Pippa Blake will take place at Artis in Auckland, New Zealand. and runs from the 28th February to the 25th March 2012.

Conflicted is a body of work which is both stimulating and thought provoking. These paintings represent landscapes where conflicts have taken place. They are “soundless”, but the silence itself is full of imagined noises. “Desolation” and the aftermath of conflict are the areas that interest Pippa. Her work is not only about the physical outer landscape that we see, but also the inner landscape of our minds.

Words taken from the powerful war poems of Felicity Currie, have been the inspiration for some titles. These can be found at
