Jason Greig: Blood is Thicker
31 October 2026 –

Jason Greig Blood is Thicker 2005. Monoprint. Collection of Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, purchased 2005
Gothic shadows, werewolves and Old Masters collide.
In a twist on the classic survey, this landmark exhibition pairs Ōtautahi Christchurch artist Jason Greig’s darkly compelling works with gothic masterpieces by Goya, Redon and other nineteenth-century visionaries. Together, they reveal a dark lineage where printer’s ink flows like blood through art history’s veins. Greig is the romantic, old soul of Aotearoa New Zealand art, and his figurative monoprints and paintings are deeply immersed in literary, historical and mythical themes.
Jason Greig: Blood is Thicker has been developed in partnership by The Dowse Art Museum and City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi.
