Gow Langsford is proud to present a major exhibition surveying the work of Jacqueline Fahey from the 1950s to the present day. Protest Paintings brings together works spanning over seven decades of one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most distinctive and celebrated artistic voices – whose unflinching eye for the sociopolitical world has only grown more piercing with time.

Now in her late nineties, Fahey is one of few female career artists of her generation to have sustained such fierce relevance — her gaze unwavering, her convictions uncompromised. As Director Anna Jackson notes in the accompanying exhibition catalogue; “It is a privilege, in the course of a career, to work closely with an artist whose life and practice have made a lasting contribution to the cultural life of this country. For me, that artist is Jacqueline Fahey.”
