Shadows & Reflections - Don Service & Dr Suits
What happens when we bring the urban art of Don Service and Dr Suits together? Depth of shadow, enticing reflection and a compelling combination of real material and style. The Gallery is preparing to show new works from these two Christchurch based talents. A key part of what makes them both exciting artists is the journey and approach they each take in crafting, creating and making their work.
Here’s a quick read on who Don Service & Dr Suits are…

NZ Artist Rachel Rush... and RUSH
Rachel Rush is a well-known contemporary New Zealand artist, continuing to achieve success on the local and global stage.
Rachel loves the freedom of mixing up acrylics and stains with resin to create beautiful colours and depths within layers of work. There are no hard rules to follow and she enjoys watching each piece take on its own vibrancy and energy. Surprisingly, this talented local artist actually enjoys a fabulous double life. Rachel offers the world another lens through her alter ego RUSH. RUSH is an alternative portfolio of fresh, bold urban art.
With two captivating worlds in play, we loved asking Rachel more about her art and inspirations during this unusual year...
