LETS GATHER HERE - IN A PLACE WHERE ALL RACES, CULTURES AND GENDERS MIX WITH THE FREEDOM TO CELEBRATE THEIR INDIVIDUALITY AND RESPECT DIVERSITY.
A limited edition print by contemporary Niuean/New Zealand artist and writer John Pule was chosen by Doris de Pont to be the signature print for this collection.
Pule is a well respected artist who has developed his own lexicon of geometric motifs and figurative elements. Some of the figures in his work come directly from his Niuean cultural background others from his imagination.
"A lot of people see this part of the world as something out of a travel brochure. But if they look a bit further at the story and actually come to New Zealand they see we have a really interactive, creative way of doing things. Maori, Pakeha, Pacific Island and now Asian artists are all in the same place working with each other."
