Tapa Moana: Connecting with the Ocean
03 Oct 2009  - 06 Dec 2009

Reconnecting people with nature and the ocean is one aim of Jan Huijbers’ new exhibition, 'Tapa Moana', on display at Puke Ariki from 3rd October - 6th December 2009.

Building upon his Oceans Pattern exhibition from three years ago, Jan has delved deeper into our relationship with the ocean.

Jan has combined patterns from shells and the wider seascape with the vibrant ocean colours to create a stunning new collection of art works.

Made up of more than 30 works, Tapa Moana will also feature a light projection where figures will be reflected onto one of the works which tricks the eye into make it look like its moving. The exhibition will also showcase a 3-dimensional painting with life-size elements.
