17 artworks spanning 25 years of paintings make up artist Glen Wolfgramm's first survey show of his intricate abstract works, all strongly reflecting his Tongan heritage. A'eva tokotaha he Pasifiki: Solo across the Pacific is also the Tamakai Makaurau-based artist's first solo exhibition in a public gallery. The "Solo" in the show's title also refers to how solitary the experience of painting is - though less so these days with children and a studio in the family home! Glen, who's a self-taught artist, is a past finalist in the Wallace Art Awards. His large-scale paintings have been described as dynamic, fractured and reverberating with Polynesian motifs. Lynn Freeman began by asking Glen about the survey show, which has allowed him to be reunited with work he hasn't seen for more than two decades. Glen Wolfgramm's A'eva tokotaha he Pasifik Solo across the Pacific is showing at Pataka: Art + Museum in Porirua in Wellington.
