About Quirky Fox Gallery
When things got a bit messy in 2012, the owner of Quirky Fox, Vicki, decided to take a risk, quit her job and open her own business. Sick of seeing the same thing in every shop, Quirky Fox set out to showcase something a little bit different. Starting with a mixture of independent artists and commercially produced items, Vicki found working with independent artists more meaningful, rewarding and challenging.
With this in mind, Quirky Fox made the transition from design store to gallery. Showcasing both established and emerging talents, Quirky Fox invites both New Zealand and international artists to be part of its carefully curated range; all international artists are exclusive to the gallery within New Zealand, while New Zealand artists are exclusive to the gallery within the Taranaki region. Quirky Fox aims to provide a home for artists working in new contemporary and representational styles and introduce their works New Zealand and an international audience.
In 2019, Quirky Fox started to offer custom framing to complement the gallery. While taking customer preferences into consideration, the gallery aims to frame in a way that moves away from boring, white, decor-friendly frames towards pieces that enhance the artwork and continue to tell the artist’s story.
‘EARTHLY DELIGHTS’
From Shakespeare’s sonnets to Monet’s paintings, flowers have featured in many great works of art and literature. Their beauty is more than just intricate petals and vibrant colours: they bloom, they flourish and then wither away, often in a matter of days or weeks.
It is thought that one of the reasons we love flowers is because they die. They remind us that small things can bring beauty and joy to our lives. They remind us of the fleeting nature of life and that beauty can be found in even the most ephemeral things.
They colour our landscapes, our gardens and our homes.
