Chloe Blades & Laurette Looker 'Nothing To See Here'

You are warmly invited to the opening of the exhibition ‘Nothing To See Here’ on Saturday 9 August from 5pm to 6:30pm.

Nothing to See Here brings together the vibrant, emotionally rich works of two West Auckland artists and working mothers, reflecting on their need for solitude while navigating the responsibilities and complexities of raising a young family. In this joint exhibition, Chloe’s playful table scenes transport us to a decadent place women can transcend to when in reality they’re feeding their children nuggets watching Bluey. Laurette’s portraits, meanwhile, are like whispered daydreams, holding space for stillness, introspection, and the quiet hum of internal monologue. Though stylistically distinct, both artists share a bright, naïve aesthetic that favours atmosphere over realism. Their work offers a personal glimpse into the inner lives of women, often tucked behind everyday routines and the occasional daydream of being somewhere else. As the title suggests, Nothing to See Here winks at the idea that the domestic and emotional lives of women can be invisible or overlooked, when in fact, they’re everywhere.

On Show 9 August to 24 August. Everyone is welcome!
