Portraits from the Deep showcases a collection of illustrations and gyotaku prints by Kāpiti based artist Tim Li.
From the humble kina to macabre creatures of the darkest depths, Tim’s work forces us to slow down and appreciate the aesthetic grandeur of our marine taonga. In an age where everything is seen through a filter, the ocean’s inhabitants aren’t something you can simply experience through social media and the bombardment of fast imagery we are so privy to. You have to immerse yourself in Tangaroa’s world to truly appreciate the beauty and complexity of our endemic marine species.
Each individually honed piece is a monument to the ocean, and a challenge to the “plenty more fish in the sea” mindset. Rare, treasurable and revered are truer descriptions of both the ocean and Tim’s work.
Tim will be giving a gyotaku demonstration and artist talk at the exhibition opening. This is a great opportunity to meet our exhibiting artist and enjoy some lovely refreshments courtesy of our hospitality partners.
