Moe Miti: Dream Sleep Sleep Dream
You are warmly invited to join us this Thursday 6 – 8pm for a glass of wine.
Exclusive to okaioceanikart a new serigraph print edition from acclaimed artist Fatu Feu'u. Printed on the best quality Italian Fabriano A1 paper these are great value at $975.00. "Mata Pala Pala" means "Eyes of the earth". The work explores the idea that the earth is awakening, scientists are speeding up our awareness of what is happening. There is a sense of both an urgency and a gentle future unfolding in this image.
In conjunction with the Langham Hotel we are proud to also bring you the Feu'u collection from the touring exhibition "Samoa Contemporary" and the important new work 14 Oketopa 1939. This work marks the date when the NZ Administration witnessed the signing of a covenant related to the Malietoa title and its future holders. For this work Fatu laminated Tapa cloth to canvas. The paint and oil stick fade in and out on this textured surface referencing the way memory of important events becomes indistinct over time.
Fatu now spends a portion of every year back in his village in Samoa and this has re-ignited his passion for speaking out about the issues that are really important to him. 14 Oketopa 1939 marks a new phase in his work. To understand a little of this new context for art making we have invited Evotia Tamua, Photographer for the forthcoming CNZ funded book on Fatu to discuss the insights she gained whilst in Samoa with Fatu earlier this year.
So please join us if you can for Evotia's floor talk and images Saturday 9 May 3 to 4pm. "Fatu's studio in Samoa –a young artist's experience of this pioneer artist working in his village".
The paintings are available to view until 15 May okaioceanikart at 65 Karangahape Rd Langham Hotel Mall. Opening hours: 11am to 6pm Mon – Sat. Ph 379 9051 or 027 285 4350
