Paul Maseyk:
Jugs in New Zealand Painting

Over the past eight years, Paul Maseyk has undertaken an in-depth exploration of the still life genre in Aotearoa New Zealand, with particular attention to works depicting the humble jug.

This project brings together two of Maseyk’s longstanding interests—painting and jugs. In response, he has produced over 60 jugs modelled on those depicted in New Zealand paintings, identified through extensive research across public and private collections, magazines, and online sources. Jugs in New Zealand Painting presents a selection of these paintings drawn from the Arts House Trust collection and several collections in New Zealand.
