During Stanley Palmer's 2013 exhibition join Join Stanley Palmer for a relaxed beach/bach themed pop-up dinner in the gallery and an opportunity to hear an iconic artist talk about his life, his recent work and his love of islands.

Painter and printmaker Stanley Palmer is well known for his depictions of a rugged New Zealand landscape. Often featuring the coastline or off-shore islands, Palmer's distinctive prints are produced through a combination of bamboo engraving and lithography. His early prints feature a signature fractured picture plane - a characteristic of working with bamboo.

The artist has been exhibiting since 1958 and has exhibited widely in New Zealand and internationally.

In 2009 the book 'East: Stanley Palmer' was published by Craig Potton Publishing featuring a selection of works spanning four decades.

Stanley Palmer's works feature in a number of collections inlcuding: Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand, The University of Auckland, City Art Gallery, Auckland, Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth and the Robert McDougall Art Gallery, Christchurch.
