"I think it works as our bodies have a mechanism of protecting themselves like this sculpture. I want to express the beauty and fragility of life."
When asked to donate his work Mr Pearce said he didn't hesitate and instead felt honoured to be involved with such a "neat community event".
"I am amazed by what Cranford do and am pleased I can donate my time."
Parlour Projects gallery owner Sophie Wallace said Mr Pearce's work was amazing and he had exhibited in a lot of the top gallery's across the country.
Project manager Annabel Tapley-Smith said to have an artist like Ben Pearce involved in the 26th annual event, in her mind, showed the diversity and growth this event had achieved in the last three years and the talent that was residing in the region.
"World class artists, winemakers and food producers, amazing," Ms Tapley-Smith said.
The Wine Auction's pre tasting event, which starts in October, has already sold out however there are still 100 tickets left for the main auction event in November.
Ms Tapley-Smith was hoping for a similar result to previous years with the last three main events sold out.
"It is a testament to the quality of wine auction lot offerings available."
In addition to the painting there are 43 further lots available, including some rare, one off wines from some of the most prestigious wineries in the country as well as collaborations between winemakers and artists and winemakers and restaurants.
Mr Pearce's Aspect 1, Corten Steel, will be on display at Parlour Projects gallery until the auction.
Details of the lots as well as tickets to the event can be purchased from www.hawkesbaywineauction.co.nz.
The event is held at 1pm on November 11at the Hawke's Bay Opera House.
