At the heart of the Hanly House project is a story of two of New Zealand’s most significant modern artists.
Pat, a painter and Gil, a documentary photographer, contributed significantly to Aotearoa’s social, political and cultural landscape.
Pat Hanly
As a painter, Pat was renowned for his colour works and social conscience, creating work that challenged New Zealand society and its place in the Pacific – and also evoked great joy.
Gil Hanly
Gil’s documentary
photography captured New
Zealand’s tumultuous political
landscape including the
Springbok Tour, the anti-
nuclear movement and many
Waitangi Day commemorations.
The arts community
Alongside the legacy of Pat and Gil, the story includes the artists also residing in the creative mecca of Mt Eden. Outstanding artists such as Peter Lange, Philip Clairmont, Sir Peter and Lady Sylvia Siddell, Dick Frizzel, Claudia Pond Eyley, Greer Twiss, Ian Scott and Stanley Palmer and their artist friends from across the nation; Quentin MacFarlane, Nigel Brown, Susan Firth, John Edgar and Anne Robinson, Virginnia King, John Perry and many more –
Together their work helped define Aotearoa New Zealand’s cultural identity.
