Piupiu #2 (framed)

Each painting in this collection is a tribute to the artistry and cultural significance of traditional Māori weaving. By capturing the intricate patterns and textures of piupiu (traditional Māori skirt) and kete (basket) in a new medium, these pieces serve as a visual representation of the connection between past and present, tradition and innovation.

Through his unique blend of Impressionism and traditional weaving techniques, Josh brings a fresh perspective to the ancient art form, highlighting the beauty and complexity of each individual strand. The result is a series of vibrant, dynamic paintings that pay homage to the skill and creativity of Māori weavers, while also inviting viewers to appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of these practices.

Whether displayed in a gallery or in your own home, these woven paintings are sure to spark conversation and inspire admiration for the artistry and craftsmanship of Māori weaving. Each piece is a celebration of the enduring legacy of our Tūpuna (ancestors) which is our direct link to them woven down over time, a testament to the power of tradition, and a beautiful addition to any art collection.
