Golden Kawakawa #5

“Golden Kawakawa” is a captivating series of paintings that delves into the intricate beauty of kawakawa leaves, from their vibrant green beginnings to their delicate, skeletal structures in the cooler months. Inspired by the lifecycle of these leaves and their significance in Māori culture as a key ingredient in rongoa (traditional medicine), Josh has created a stunning collection that celebrates the natural world and the passage of time.

Using a unique mix of acrylic medium and bronze powder, each painting in this series captures the essence of the kawakawa leaf in a way that is both striking and delicate. Fine lines and shimmering golden hues showcase the decompositional structure of the leaf, highlighting the beauty and complexity of nature’s design.

Through his exploration of the lifecycle of the kawakawa leaf, Josh invites viewers to reflect on the beauty of impermanence and the intricate patterns found in the natural world. These paintings serve as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the interconnectedness of all living things, while also offering a visually stunning addition to any art collection.

Whether displayed in a gallery or in your own home, the “Golden Kawakawa” series is sure to captivate and inspire, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and the artistry of Josh’s unique vision.
