Moving to Aotearoa in 1998, Neal Palmer found himself returning to painting as a means of processing his new surroundings, and the often-emotional responses experienced in his new environment. Neal’s debut exhibition with The Central Art Gallery is an overview of his recent themes, inspired by Aotearoa's natural world, and an introduction to his signature combination of figurative and abstract visual languages.

Symbols & Signifiers is exhibiting simultaneously with Playing Games.
