Horizon 2 at Bergman Gallery Auckland is a compelling group exhibition that explores the concept of the horizon as both a literal and metaphorical space—an ever-present yet unreachable boundary between sky and earth, known and unknown. Featuring a dynamic lineup of artists, including Fatu Feu’u, Andy Leleisi’uao, Rozana Lee, Roy Good, Alison Leauanae, Raymond Sagapolutele, Stevei Houkāmau, Sapati Mossiah Avei Fina’i
Monica Paterson, Iokapeta Magele-Suamasi, and Brent Holley, this exhibition delves into themes of possibility, transition, cultural identity, and artistic exploration.
Through diverse media—including painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media—each artist navigates their own interpretation of horizon, whether as a marker of personal or collective history, a space of belonging, or a point of departure. From the vibrant Pacific motifs of Feu’u to the intricate narratives of Leleisi’uao and the bold abstractions of Good, the exhibition presents a rich interplay of perspectives. Horizon 2 invites viewers to consider what lies beyond the visible and how horizons—geographical, philosophical, or emotional—shape our understanding of space, time, and identity. This exhibition is a celebration of artistic dialogue, bridging past and future, tradition and innovation.
