Colour Memories w/ Sara Hughes: 21st November, 2025
Description
Sara Hughes is a Tāmaki-based artist known for her rich exploration in geometric abstraction through her dynamic installations, and painting practice. Hughes continuously investigates colour and composition—tuning into their own inherent language to produce these dazzling paintings that hold this wonderful capacity for light, movement, and memory.
In her current exhibition Colour Memories at Gow Lansford Onehunga, Hughes presents a beautiful new body of paintings that continues in her exploration of memory, but more specifically to these ideas of artistic influence and lineage. Within Colour Memories, Hughes approaches these ideas of artistic lineage by directly responding to 11 female painters that have influenced her own artistic practice over the years. Bringing both their paintings and Hughes' response paintings into the gallery, creating a space of direct dialogue, response, and exchange between works and artists.
Maya caught up with Sara about the show and overall practice.
