Haydens is pleased to present Thousands of Luminous Spheres, a group exhibition featuring circular and spherical works by 20 contemporary artists across generations.

Taking its title from Suzanne Paul’s 1992 infomercial for Natural Glow, a New Zealand makeup brand, the exhibition explores the sphere as an amorphous symbol across two- and three-dimensional artworks. Spheres shape our universe, from subatomic particles to celestial bodies and anomalous phenomena. In this exhibition, they take on various abstract forms, symbolising unity, harmony, and the infinite. Like Natural Glow, these spheres reflect light and the world around them. Through diverse interpretations of the sphere, Thousands of Luminous Spheres invites us to reflect on its universal presence, from the microscopic to the cosmic, and its enduring symbolism throughout abstraction.
