Season is delighted to present Wax and Wane, an exhibition of new paintings by Hamish Coleman. The works emphasise plays of brightness and obscurity, light and shadow. Drawing on traditions of painting and lens-based art, they ponder the complex relationships between lived experience, memory, and imagination.

Hamish Coleman holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) degree from the University of Canterbury’s Ilam School of Fine Arts. His work has been shown in Australia and China, and throughout Aotearoa. In 2021, Ashburton Art Gallery hosted a significant solo exhibition, his first at a public art institution. He recently relocated to Ōtepoti, after a decade living and working in Te-Whanganui-a-Tara.
