Two Rooms presents Hullabaloo, a solo exhibition by New Zealand artist Ruby Wilkinson, on view from October 9 to November 21, 2026, in Auckland. Bringing together a new series of paintings, the exhibition explores the sky as a space of creation, freedom and communication through the constantly changing figure of the bird. Moving between the sea, the sky and the earth, Wilkinson considers the relationship between living creatures and their environments, reflecting on evolution, movement and the possibilities of different forms of existence.

Throughout the paintings, birds appear in a variety of forms, from shadowy silhouettes and geometric outlines to expressive shapes formed through energetic brushstrokes. Their shifting appearances create a visual language that moves between abstraction and figuration, connecting expansive landscapes with the physical presence of living beings. The exhibition also includes references to aquatic life, particularly dolphins, whose capacity for communication and relationship with humans raises questions about the limits of human understanding and the ways different species experience the world.

Drawing on ideas of primordial life, mythology and interspecies communication, Hullabaloo explores the possibilities of transformation beyond the limitations of the human body and perception. Through its fluid imagery and imaginative compositions, the exhibition evokes alternative ways of inhabiting the natural world, where boundaries between species, elements and forms of life become less fixed. Wilkinson invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with the environment and embrace the freedom, uncertainty and potential of existence beyond familiar human experience.
