Thursday October 27 2022 5 ‘Painting gives me happiness’ • By Natalie Pham AN AWARD-winning Japanese artist is hoping to connect people through her third annual art exhibition. About 320 brightly coloured artworks are arranged in a cross at South Library, with its symbol representing the intersection of the past and the future. St Albans artist Haruko Furukawa said the majority of the artworks came from her students in New Zealand and from overseas artists – from Japan to the United States. “I painted about 50 artworks, 220 were from my students and the rest is from many artists.” Since starting the project seven years ago, Furukawa said her only goal was to have many people participate and feel connected through the exhibition. The avid artist started to paint many years ago, as a way to deal with the raw emotion following her father’s death. “Then I discovered that painting gives me happiness,” she said. “I knew that I want to make people all over the world happy through my works.” Furukawa then attended Kyoto Saga Art University where she learned traditional Japanese art, and later picked up Western techniques in Florence, Italy. This explains the incorporation of acrylic and traditional Japanese materials into her painting. Said Furukawa: “My styles are a combination of Western and Japanese styles because I learned both. “Western colours are deep, whereas Japanese is more subtle. So I normally paint with Japanese colours first, and then paint with acrylic.” Furukawa has taken part in several live painting events and created murals across the city since moving to New Zealand 20 years ago. Her artworks have also featured in local and international exhibitions. Last week, she was among five artists participating in an ongoing exhibition at Tūranga that displays the lives of ethnic minorities. Besides teaching art at her home, Furukawa also volunteers teaching art at retirement SHOW: Award-winning Japanese artist Haruko Furukawa has compiled 320 artworks in her latest exhibition, Big Bang 13. The artist also teaches from home and in retirement villages (above). PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN villages. Next month, the painter will collaborate with Shiki Japanese Music Group for a performance of live painting and music at the Arts Centre. The Big Bang 13 exhibition will run at South Library until the end of this month.

Now we’re taking the next step in our plan, announcing a massive infrastructure investment to kick-start new housing developments across the country. While housing supply is ramping up with a record number of new houses consented this year, we know that one of the main barriers to the construction of more homes is a lack of basic infrastructure. Our $3.8 billion Infrastructure Acceleration Fund – designed to speed up the pace and scale of house building – has taken a big step toward tackling this problem. This initiative is jumpstarting housing developments by funding the vital infrastructure needed for new homes – like roads, water pipes, and flood management systems. When taken together, the investments that we’ve made through the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund are expected to enable around 20,000 new homes right across the country, including around 1,300 in Rangiora – and there’s still more to come. This covers a range of homes, including public, affordable, market and papakāinga housing. The country’s housing crisis was decades in the making and we know the only way we’re going to solve it, and bring down costs for Canterbury families, is to build more houses. That’s why we’re also building more public and transitional housing than any Government since the 1970s. There’s no single answer for fixing the housing crisis, but together, the measures we’ve put in place are making a real difference. As always, I’m here to help.
