Tautai Pacific Art Gallery
We attended the Tautai Art Exhibition (unfortunately late) to check out the art displayed. Although the gallery space and work were very minimalistic, it was a pleasure to have been able to view and take in the work of various Pacific themed work and artists. By the time we had left I did not realise we hadn’t recorded the names of the pieces of work or the artists because we were in a rush. (Please feel free to correct the post below if you know the artists of the following images).
1. I personally think this piece was probably the most interesting and eye-catching work in the gallery and my favourite. I admire the minimalism yet it is so mesmerising as well as the structure. It was an interactive installation as you could walk around the strings (a Kim Possible moment).
2. Now I interpreted this piece with rather “homey” connotations as I am part Samoan, this image looks very familiar to me. Green or unripe bananas are a significant part in island food.
3. You can’t miss this one when visiting Tautai. Not only because its right at the front of the space once you walk inside but also very large, aesthetic and commanding in its stance.
