Form Gallery in Christchurch will present ‘Main Character’, a combined exhibition of new figurative ceramics by Fiona Tunnicliffe and Nachiko Schollum, with an opening event scheduled for Saturday 5 September 2026. The event will take place from 2pm to 5pm at the gallery’s premises at 468 Colombo Street.
The exhibition announcement describes Tunnicliffe and Schollum as “figurative ceramics specialists” and says the pair are returning for a joint presentation of new work. It characterises the exhibition as a colourful opening to the spring season, while inviting visitors to attend the launch and view what it calls “unique and delightful artworks.”
The announcement identifies work by both artists in the exhibition material. A pictured work is credited to Nachiko Schollum, although no title or further information about the piece is provided. Fiona Tunnicliffe’s ‘Verdant Rhino’ is also named in the announcement, establishing at least one work included in the presentation.
No additional details are supplied about the number of works, the materials or techniques used, or the exhibition’s curatorial arrangement. The gallery’s wording places the focus on the artists’ shared engagement with figurative ceramics, but does not outline a specific theme, narrative or relationship between the new works.
Form Gallery is located at 468 Colombo Street in Sydenham, Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand. The announcement comes from the gallery’s subscriber communications and confirms the Colombo Street address as the venue for the opening event. It does not provide a separate closing date or a full public exhibition schedule, so the verified event information is limited to the 2–5pm opening on 5 September.
‘Main Character’ follows the gallery’s announcement of other upcoming exhibitions, including a mixed student presentation in October, a sculpture exhibition by Matthew Williams in November and an end-of-year special in December. Those listings are presented separately from the Schollum and Tunnicliffe exhibition and are not accompanied by further details.
