{"title":"Neil Groom","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeil Groom's (b.1967)\u003cspan\u003e mixed-media practice blurs boundaries and inhabits liminal spaces—zones of transition and ambiguity—where abstraction meets representation and tradition merges with experimentation. Through layered surfaces and hybrid technologies, Groom explores themes of identity, memory, and transformation, inviting viewers to engage with the generative possibilities found at the edges of artistic and personal experience. He completed his BFA at the Canterbury University, New Zealand, majoring in Painting and Art History and received a Diploma in Teaching at the Christchurch College of Education, New Zealand. Recent exhibition include 'Borderlands: Thresholds in Painting' at Pictorem Gallery, London (2026),'Let's Talk About Intuition', Pictorem Gallery, London (2024), and 'There are no Things only Relationships', Terrace Gallery, London (2023). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"book-of-two-ways","title":"Book Of Two Ways","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of a series of mixed-media prints that was inspired by a trip to Egypt and the 'Book of Two Ways' - a map of the Underworld that provided a series of incantations the spirit could use to by-pass various dangers on its journey to the 'Land of the Reeds'. The two ways were either a land or water route taken by the spirit. These works are also an ode to the Rangitaiki River that bordered my childhood home - many places of burial were located on its banks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neil Groom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56910170390910,"sku":"HC1207","price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/files\/Screenshot_2026-02-10_at_15.12.37.png?v=1770736371"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/collections\/Screenshot_2026-02-03_at_12.47.38_ffb3aa5e-0742-46d1-9854-3f756e5f109f.png?v=1770133654","url":"https:\/\/hyphacurates.com\/collections\/neil-groom.oembed","provider":"Hypha Curates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
