Rangi Kipa is an Artist whose sculpture, carvings and taa moko are at
the forefront of contemporary Maori art that challenges boundaries,
creates dialogue, traverses the art/object divide and confronts the
modern world
that we live in as Maori and non-Maori. His work engages
on a domestic and international stage, with his most recent work
featuring at Goff and Rosenthal Gallery, New York from May 8th to June
14th 2008.
“I like to continuously push my own boundaries and challenge the status
quo, artistic expression, artistic practice should reflect the
realities of life. This means that I use all manner of materials as
mediums for my artistic expression from natural organic resources to
composite space age compounds”.
