George Baloghy
1950 -
George Baloghy is an artist from Hungary who emigrated to Aotearoa NZ in 1956 . He is known
for painting landscapes of streets, shops, buildings and cars particularly during the 1980s. In these paintings
George records his surroundings showing that these buildings have a character of their own and tell their own
stories. Many of the buildings George has painted have since changed or sadly been demolished.

Robert Ellis
1929 -
Robert Ellis arrived in Auckland in 1957 from England. Robert bought his first car and became fascinated by the
roads in Auckland. He decided to paint the way roads curve, bend and snake across the landscape from above.
The colours he chose to paint with come from the roads, lights, signs and cars travelling. Many of his paintings
appear at night, almost giving the impression that the city is alive and active, almost like a beating heart.
