Painter to Auckland - New Zealand
New Zealand
Peata’s language is that of geometric abstraction and pattern deeply informed by Maori culture.
She is equally aware of the consequent linkages between past and present, craft and art, two-dimension and three-dimension, the debates of sight and perception, of surface versus distance, of structure versus colour nuance.
In this way she asserts the relevance of painting in the digital, homogenised world.
Through her art, the New Zealand artist aims to illustrate the socio-cultural dualities of her country, in which she has a strong interest and continues to explore.
