Exhibition | Peter Stichbury, 'Grand Guignol' at Lett Thomas, Karangahape Road, Auckland, New Zealand

New Zealand artist Peter Stichbury presents 'Grand Guignol', a solo exhibition at Lett Thomas gallery on Karangahape Road in Auckland. The show takes its name from the Parisian theatre known for its graphic horror performances, suggesting Stichbury's paintings explore themes of the grotesque and macabre.

The exhibition highlights Stichbury's continued practice in figurative painting, a medium through which he examines psychological and social tensions. As a local gallery show in Auckland, it contributes to the vibrant contemporary art scene in New Zealand, offering audiences a chance to engage with provocative, narrative-driven work.
