A landscape oil painting based on the New Zealand hills in ornate gold frame.
This series pushed the collection towards the abstract end of the scale for the sixty-something works included in that show. This was a deliberate conversation with the viewers to pull them out of reading all the works as misty, romantic and representation paintings – with these ones you need to address the mark making.
All the works in the exhibition were painted across numerous sessions in layers of oil paint glazes. With these ones, brighter colours of the underpainting are exposed by scraping and sanding back the top layers. This frame is about 50mm deep and 440mm square which is larger than some of the other works showing in the shop.

Aerial View of Key Battle in the NZ Wars
At daybreak on 29 April 1864, British Lieutenant-General Duncan Cameron ordered an attack on Pukehinahina (Gate Pā, Tauranga) which began with an artillery barrage followed by an infantry assault however Rāwiri Tuaia Puhirake had gathered 250 Māori at Pukehinahina to resist the British encroachment. They defended the pā from a network of underground anti-artillery bunkers and concealed trenches, causing heavy casualties for the British.
The British retreated leaving their dead and wounded behind. Overnight, wounded British soldiers were tended to by Māori, and most of the defenders escaped. The next day, the British found the pā abandoned. Thirty-five British regulars died during the engagement and 75 were wounded.

Ngā Puke o Aotearoa, The Hills of New Zealand in Māori, continued the exploration of attachment to the New Zealand landscape and was made all the more personal by the discovery of Guy’s Māori heritage during the time these works were being produced.
