VIKY GARDEN
Monotypes
Viky Garden, born in Wellington, currently lives in Auckland. A finalist in the NZ Adam Portrait Awards in 1992, 2014 and 2016 and in the Parkin Drawing Award in 2018, her work is held in private collections in New Zealand, Australia, UK, Canada, USA and Europe. Garden has a consistent and focused body of work dating back 25 years. Almost exclusively using herself as the subject, she explores themes of impermanence, self-image, introspection and the female experience.
In 2019 Garden expanded her practice to include award-winning Photography and Monotypes.
Garden’s monotypes originate from a specific paintings. These monotypes are reverse printed by hand onto high quality watercolour paper. Parts of the image are revealed to create a whole new work of art – in this way, art informs itself into a whole new discipline. No two monotypes are the same, each is a unique print.
Like my pinhole, photographs, I am only interested in a rudimentary process but one that invites serendipitous moments.”
