About The Artwork

Ken Gray (1938–1992) was a sheep farmer from Porirua, New Zealand. He represented New Zealand in Rugby, playing lock and later prop forward. He could play on either side of a scrum. In 1970, he refused to tour South Africa in protest at its policy of apartheid and resigned from the game. He was elected a Hutt County Councillor in 1971 and became a Porirua City Councillor in 1973 when the riding of the County he was the member for, joined Porirua City. Later he was elected to the Hutt Valley Energy Board and to The Wellinmgton Regional Council where he continued to serve until his unexpected death of a heart attack in 1992.( His brother Jim Gray also died of a heart attack in 1999). The Petone Rugby Club, where he played, commemorates him with the Ken Gray Academy. The Ken Gray Education Centre was established in a converted shearing shed on the Battle Hill Forest Farm, near the Gray family farm, Pauatahanui Inlet, after his death.

Rudolf Boelee Born 1940 in the Netherlands, Rudolf Boelee immigrated to New Zealand in 1963 and has been painting and exhibiting for the past 40 years. He draws the inspiration for his works from various sources including science fiction, magazines, popular culture images and film. Boelee often employs imagery that, while on one level is seemingly prosaic, an alternative meaning or political vision is often suggested or more obviously stated. "Over the last twenty five years I have tried to make work that speaks on a personal and universal level, looking backward and forward at the same time, investigating New Zealand's recent history in relation to the present". Rudolf Boelee has been the recipient of several art awards and is represented in countless private and public collections both nationally and internationally.
