The air is cool and crisp, the scent of mountain pines hangs heavy. Aurum Gallery, nestled beneath the iconic Coronet Peak ski field, is a haven for art lovers and those seeking a unique experience. Right here, before you, stands a gallery renowned for its exquisite collection of representational artworks, showcasing the mastery of both local and international artists. Stepping inside, you’ll be greeted by a curated showcase of pieces that defy convention and push the boundaries of realism. The gallery is particularly proud to hold one of only two showcases globally for the innovative works of Brisbane-based Living Master Gordon Hanley. Gordon’s mastery lies in his exceptional use of “metalpoint,” a 600-year-old Renaissance art form. He uses metal styluses to create intricate drawings on a prepared surface. But Gordon’s brilliance lies in his scientific approach, which allows him to take this delicate medium to a whole new level. He uses pure 24ct gold, meticulously crafted with precision and passion. Aurum Gallery is a testament to the pursuit of artistic excellence. It’s a place where the past meets the present, where artistry and craftsmanship converge in a harmonious symphony of light and detail.
