Title: Ngati Pollock.
PVA and acrylic on 36mm box canvas.
Location - Waikaha Gallery
This painting is a pure exploration in paint, its movement and form and freedom but overlayed with the designs of the Maori carving tradition, and is based on the work of Jackson Pollock and his influece on me during this present stage of developement.
The relief glue pannels give the dimension of carving in a contemporary way, accentuated by metallic highlights. I wish to explore modern techniques, and materials from the point of veiw of my Ancestors, including the paradox of materialism and earning a living, and quantity and speed Vs. quality and craftsmanship. These are the issues which cause conflict within modern Maori, and permeate not only the work, but the doing.
PRICE: $300.00
