Tracey Tawhiao
https://redartgallery.com/collections/tracey-tawhaio
Tracey Tawhiao is an artist with a wide range of artistic abilities: poetry, painting, performance and filmmaking. She is known for using newspapers as the base of her artworks. She layers on top blocks of colours and Maori symbols and separates them into grids.
Text and Image are demonstrated in this artwork through the only word in the whole artwork "SPRING" and the blues and pinks that give off a very peaceful and positive vibe. Because of the word Spring, the entire image's meaning got clearer. She used two korus hanging of a stem symbolizing new life and new beginnings just as how spring is symbolized that way.
The text helped me understand the image more because, without the word "SPRING" in the image, I would've had a different perspective towards it and interpreted it in another way. Without the text, I would've interpreted it differently.
Tracey Tawhiao's artworks are separated into grids and mostly consists of unique patterns with mostly korus and fishes, while Robyn Kahukiwa's artworks consist of one image with one or multiple people
Robyn Kahukiwa paints humans while Tracey Tawhiao doesn't
Tracey Tawhiao's paintings are flat while Robyn's aren't.
Robyn's colour choices are very dark while Tracey's are a lot more vibrant.
