Ardour is a painting in Raewyn’s What is real series and is an expression of the passion required to give birth to fresh creativity.  What is real refers to Plato’s allegory The Cave, in which he urges his readers to re-examine their habitual viewpoint and open their minds and see “what is real”. In the story prisoners chained in a cave watch reflected shadows on a wall, never seeing outside. One escapes and discovers life and comes back to tell the others, but they reject his revelation. His escape signifies spiritual and philosophical enlightenment.

About the
Seller

Artfull.co.nz is the premier online-first curated platform to discover and buy original works directly from emerging and established artists and makers across Aotearoa New Zealand.

Founded in 2022 by Jessica Agoston Cleary, an experienced curator, writer and public art manager, and John Barnett luminary film producer, business entrepreneur and passionate art collector, Artfull bridges the gap between the artist and the collector through the power of technology.

Artfull's ethos and mission is present the depth and breadth of incredible visual art by artists you know, and introduce you to many you don't. In bringing art on-line, Artfull seeks to demystify art and support collectors to build collections that reflect who they are. 

Our services extend art consulting within both residential and commercial contexts, full collection curating and acquisition, facilitation of artist studio visits, and online 'art collecting 101' sessions either one-on-one or in groups. 

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
