Our Artists

The art throughout Atlas Quarter has been curated with intention. Each piece is by a local Christchurch artist or photographer — we believe in supporting the creative community that makes this city so special.

Olivia Bartle — Lounge

The pair of white plaster sculptural works in the lounge are by Christchurch artist Olivia Bartle. Her work is playful mixed media art and prints, and the pieces here are a beautiful example of her tactile, considered practice. Find more of her work on Instagram at @oliviabartle.art.

More artist details coming soon.
