Dre Murray's Exhibition

Yeah!! I have my first solo exhibition coming soon.

Opening on the 15th of May running through to early June. It is being held at Vincent's Gallery, Willis Street Village, 5/148 Willis Street, Te Aro, Wellington Central.

Everyone Is Welcome

*[Black+ White: Day 26]: Afternoon Tea/一個人的下午 ------------ The seat by the windowsill at Nova was one of my favourite spots back then when there was a little breather from the lectures. Sometimes there were no lectures in the afternoon, then I would stroll around and somehow eventually end up there with a cuppa coffee and just watch the time past by until it was about time to head home. PS: the art work was meant to be a long narrow one that flows with the writing next to it but IG won't fit the whole stretch -------------- High school students chasing around as they waited by the bus stop after school The afternoon sunlight that passes through the thick clouds, casting a warm orange warmth on the road Suddenly, rain poured, and the kids hurried away with their umbrella or leap into the bus Inside the café, the sound of coffee machine from behind Clinking plates as the waiter collected things away Slow jazz swayed in the room, accompanied by the giggles and chatters The aroma from mocha and the gentle pat of warming stem as I held the cup close to the mouth One sip Satisfaction Slice a tiny corner of the cheesecake with fork and covered the top with some plain yogurt The flavours waltzed with the mocha as the smile grew Time slowly drifted as the tiny lightbulbs on the trees lit up and the bell in the clock tower chimed Alone, yet relaxed -------------- 剛下課的高中生們，一邊等著公車、一邊嬉鬧。 穿過雲層的午後艷陽，讓四周綻放著瞬間溫暖。 突然天空轉灰，斗大的雨滴畫過天際，隨後傾盆大雨。 原打鬧的高中生，個個跳上公車打起雨傘倉促離去。 後方傳來咖啡機嘎拉嘎拉般的作響、 收拾碗盤時的叮噹響、優雅的爵士樂、愉悅的交談、輕笑。 儘管外面的狂風雨與室內的溫暖只相隔一片玻璃。 慢慢捧起咖啡杯，讓緩緩上升的溫熱熱氣直撲上冰冷的臉頰，一陣滿足。 啜飲著環繞在掌心裡的摩卡的同時， 用叉子將起士蛋糕 切割成小方塊、沾著優葛放入口中。 濃郁的芝士、微酸的優葛與甘甜的摩卡彷彿在口中形成一小段優雅的舞曲。 微笑在心裡已經慢慢的擴散開來。 不知過了多久，盞盞路燈已取代外頭的明亮。 懸掛在枯樹上的小燈泡，也開始閃閃發亮。 鐘塔裡的鐘已敲了幾下，也沒留意身後人潮的流動起伏， 就這樣一個人，靜靜的看著下午的但尼丁悄悄的流逝。 自己的周遭，如同靜止般的平靜。 一個人的下午， 原來還是可以過的那麼的悠閒、愜意。 -------------- #novacafe#otago#otagouniversity#centralotago#unistudent #unistudents#unistudents#aftenoon#cafè #OnlyOtago #OtagoUni#onceinakiwibluemoonart#creativework#womenartistsofinstagram#womenillustrator #inknovember2020#inknovember#drawingaday2020#instagramartwork#nzillustrator #イラスト #イラストレーター#插畫家 #女の子イラスト#軽美術部#illustrationartists#womenofillustration#illustration_dpi#twillustrationsh (at Octagon Dunedin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH7IvliHgNM/?igshid=9nl179llfsaj

We’re getting lots of questions about our “fees”. We would like to be clear... we do not charge the #nzartists, #nzdesigners, #nzwriters, #nzperformers, #nzillustrators, #nzphotographers, #nzmusicians and other #creative #NewZealanders that we write features about. The point of our online magazine, #CreativeRipple is to promote and support NZ’s creatives; and we think that the best way to start is by not charging to do so. That way, everyone can submit their work to CR. More info at www.creativeripple.nz
