Lettuce Puzzle | Lettuce x Auckland Art Gallery | Gretchen Albrecht

Sensuous striations of magentas, blues, yellow and greens dance with each other, translating the hills and rugged coastline of Waitakere into a floating expanse of sea, sky and earth. For over 60 years, pioneering abstractionist Gretchen Albrecht has encapsulated the experience of being within the Aotearoa landscape with her gestural sweeps of paint. Melding feeling, imagination and aesthetic instinct, her paintings do not depict landscapes, but instead offer sensory memories that shift and hum, long after the paint has dried. Skydive conjures up images of sunsets so magical that they remain forever burned in your mind; of hills transforming from green, to pink, to inky blue as the sun dips from the sky.

Lettuce loves the ritual of puzzles. They love creating puzzles and collaborating with designers to bring you interesting gorgeous scenes to delight and amuse. There is something extremely mindful about puzzling on your own or with family. Pour yourself a cup of tea or a glass of wine and relax with your puzzle
