Being

Creative visual thinking is fundamental to us all as human beings as we strive to understand our sense of self and the world. Chartwell seeks to deepen understanding about the importance of art and creative thinking for our future and our wellbeing.

Seeing

Chartwell is an explorer of the visual world. We want to know more about how and what we see. When both the eye and the mind are active, the creative process opens to the artist and viewer. The Chartwell Collection provides the viewer many examples of creative visual thought in action.

Making

Chartwell supports artists as they make and think. Making is an active and connected process, involving the interaction of intention, intuition and intellect with the mediums of the world. Chartwell is making too - making a difference through philanthropy and enabling access to creative activities and research.

Thinking

Chartwell encourages everyone to think about art and the creative process with a commitment to drive an understanding about the significance of the visual arts to general creative thinking. We share a curiosity to know and learn more: an imaginative, ongoing investigation.

Areez Katki

Areez Katki's practice dwells around conceptual and material-based intersections where the phenomenology of postcolonial identities, and their relations, are examined through praxis and modalities of de-languaging or reframing. Katki's work has been exhibited across Oceania, Asia, North America and Europe. Selections of his writing have been published in Matters (NZ), Art News (NZ), Art Now (NZ), Art Paper (NZ), The Pantograph Punch (online), Elle Magazine (India), Turbine Kapohau (online) and Scroll (US). Katki's work is held internationally in private and public collections.
