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.

Glen Hayward

Glen Hayward was born in 1974 in Auckland New Zealand and is known for his sculptures of everyday, mass-produced items. Carved from wood and painted exactly as they were as found objects, they masquerade as the real. Hayward holds a Doctorate of Fine Arts from Auckland University and is an arts tutor at the Rawene Campus of North Tech College. He has exhibited in major galleries in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch, with recent solo exhibitions at City Gallery Wellington, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu, McCahon house open studio, Auckland Arts Festival, and Paul Nache Gallery Gisborne. He has been awarded residencies in New Zealand and abroad.
