Lala Lifestyle recently transformed into an open art gallery space for opening night of Be More Bold, the combined art exhibition featuring Philip Trusttum and his protégé Barbara Scales-Boekelman.

The night welcomed more than a hundred people into the Victoria Street space to preview the art before it opened to the public the following day. Philip kicked things off with a few choice words: “Barbara is an excellent artist. She is going to do great things for the New Zealand art world tonight and in the future.”

A combined total of seven large-scale pieces were on display on opposite walls, making for leisurely viewing in comfortable, styled seating. Pieces include new graphic works from Philip and deeply moving, colourful paintings from Barbara including one entitled Fucking Flowers. Sorry art lovers – that one sold before the opening.

It’s great to see Lala Lifestyle making great use of its new space in Victoria Street – we’re looking forward to the next big thing.
