Michael Parekōwhai
by Murray Crane
Michael Parekōwhai has a new exhibition starting at Michael Lett next week and running till November 18.
Working in the familiar medium of monumental bronze ( think Chapman’s Homer & The Moment of Cubism).
“The works operate as object lessons in both stability and the transitory, who is firmly in place and what has the ability to move around. Whereas the artist’s life-size, sculpted figure is a masterful yet playful demonstration of authority and strength; Parekōwhai’s rendered trees and objects point towards a temporary rootlessness together with the apparatus required to enjoy safe passage from one place to another.”
