Tim to exhibit at Eden Park, Sept 2022

In September (8-11), the works of internationally-renowned New Zealand artist Tim Wilson will be exhibited at Eden Park during this year’s Art in the Park show.
Tim’s work has been sought after by sheikhs, best-selling music artists, and Kennedys - but now he’s coming to the country’s most famous stadium. For the first time since 2017, Tim’s work will be leaving his Queenstown gallery and coming to Auckland. Visitors to Art in the Park will have the chance to experience Tim’s landscapes and see how he represented Aotearoa’s art and natural beauty at the highest level.

Art in the Park Director Sofija Matich says, “If New Zealand could paint itself, it would paint like Tim Wilson. This is an opportunity for kiwis to see a once-in-a- lifetime global talent represent their country's extraordinary landscapes with the inimitable skill of an old master.”
For full details see our media release on 'Art in the Park 2022'.

Dish magazine - "Artist of the Month: Tim Wilson's ethereal landscapes"
As a 16-year-old on a school bus trip, Tim Wilson was profoundly moved seeing the isthmus between Lakes Hāwea and Wānaka. He longed to convey to his classmates the feeling the landscape stirred in him; he wanted them to experience what he was seeing, in the way he was seeing it. And he did. Not right there and then, but over a long and brilliant career as an artist.
