Heimler & Proc Art

DARK LIGHT, 2014

Dark Light was a series initially presented at the Auckland Railways Studio Gallery, where Heimler & Proc incorporated the notion of chromatic principles, something they learned about in Europe.

Briefly, this concept avoids the use of black as a colour. In New Zealand galleries, Heimler & Proc have noticed that artists such as Goldie, Michael Smither and Shane Cotton utilized black as liberally and as effectively as other colors. In time, their own work has evolved so that they, too, incorporate the colour black when depicting New Zealand mythological figures and scenes.
