In print: George Watson on Robyn Kahukiwa

“Robyn Kahukiwa’s mahi toi is direct and bold, her paintings simultaneously embrace the warmth and richness of Te Ao Māori, of our values, spirituality, and practices whilst also depicting the fraught social realities for many Māori living in colonised Aotearoa,” writes George Watson in Issue 00.

Tyson Campbell & George Watson, May Fair Art Fair

The artists, Tyson Campbell and George Watson, lean into the fantastical possibilities of the digital context. The floor of their booth features squares of inlaid pāua, in a sort of luxe, local reimagining of chequered tiling. A butterfly is present as well. Campbell explains that it alludes to patupaiarehe, fairy-like forest beings.
