Peter Robinson Charcoal Drawing

ChristChurch Art Gallery, Te Puna O Waiwhetu
2 August –
23 November 2025

Presenting Peter Robinson in ‘Charcoal Drawing’ at Christchurch Art Gallery; a roomful of industrial-scale beams folded into unexpected and compelling new forms.

In the crisp white cube of a gallery space, new structures emerge. Powder-coated aluminium beams are folded into strange new shapes, until their factory-finished uniformity gives way to something unexpected: fleeting, imperfect glimpses of the natural world. Abandoning the monumental for something more open-ended, renowned Aotearoa New Zealand artist Peter Robinson (Kāi Tahu) plays with line, form and shadow to construct a spectacular, supersized installation that visitors can walk past, around and through.
