  • Product Description

      Manaia Kākāriki is influenced by the German Bauhaus movement, specifically drawing inspiration from its distinctive colour palette. In this project, I incorporated Manaia, Hei Tiki, and Tekoteko elements, employing minimalistic colours and straightforward forms.

      Manaia, Hei Tiki and Tekoteko are such crucial tohu within toi Māori, these tohu are an important part of what makes toi Māori unique and beautiful.

      "I enjoyed experimenting with neutral palettes and simple forms, it is always challenging pushing yourself away from your own style but the result can be incredibly rewarding."

      River is a visual artist and graphic designer who specialises in digital design and painting from Ngāti Tahu - Ngāti Whaoa.  While her work is visually striking with intense colour, her work also speaks to the unique history of Māori culture.

      River is a graduate of Bachelor of Arts from UC.  River’s research within art history looks at colonial and religious appropriation of Māori culture, with a particular focus into the appropriation of kōwhaiwhai patterns within Christianity, as a deliberate way to assimilate Māori.

      “Research is fundamental to my painting practice, it inspires me to create works that spark debate, and the narrative is usually politically charged.”

      River uses her digital art to create prints that are inspired by Māori culture in particular kōwhaiwhai patterns.  Her unique flair for vibrant design makes her work highly sought after.  

      River has exhibited both nationally and internationally.
