‘Gothic’, as a term, conjures up images of misty moors, ruined castles and black clad figures doing dark deeds. The gothic in New Zealand art is hard to pinpoint to a particular genre or area. Instead it exists as a ‘warping of the familiar’ or a blatant fantastical anomaly . Western Gothic presents an exhibition of multi-discipline art works with distinctly gothic undertones, by artists with links to the West.
