Most mornings when I drive past the Mount Maunganui vet centre this painting on the large wall catches my eye...so after getting curious I googled who the artist was. Apparently it was created by an Irish artist named Fin Dac who was here in NZ in January this year, the story that I found says he tapped into the local kiwi culture to make a themed piece called Taaniko. He found a model and created this mural which resembles both woman's strength and the loss of culture/heritage of the Maori people. I personally really like it, what do you think?
Hmmm. Not sure if I really like it. I find it a bit confronting actually. But it definitely is eye catching!
ReplyDeleteI think it's excellent. You can't just glance at it, you need to study it to understand the meaning. Beautifully done. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteWhile the mural is nice, I thought it was odd that it's painted on a vet wall?
