Prayers & Declarations

The histories of church and brush have long been intertwined. This exhibition looks across the collections of Dunedin Public Art Gallery and Uare Taoka o Hākena Hocken Collections to consider how stories, themes and iconography relating to Christianity and faith have appeared in artists’ work across time. Including works by many important artists, including Jacopo del Casentino, Bartholomäus Bruyn, Albrecht Dürer, Colin McCahon, John Reynolds, Christine Webster, Ralph Hotere, Robin White, Jeffrey Harris, and Chris Ulutupu, Prayers & declarations explores the rich and complex legacies of Christianity on art history.
