Dame Robin Adair White, born in 1946, grew up in a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. Her father was of Ngāti Awa descent. In 1969, after art school, White settled in Bottle Creek, a small, quiet community in Paremata, further north. It was there that she taught herself to screenprint, for she wanted to reproduce her own oil paintings as prints. White focused on simplicity, on images that would be accessible to many viewers. As the art historian Jill Trevelyan has written, it was in that quaint town that White “began to paint the local landscape using crisp, rhythmic outlines, strong light, and flat blocks of colors.” This show traces White’s 50-year career with works from 22 different galleries. —Elena Clavarino
