Welcome to
RAINMAKER GALLERY
The UK Specialist in Contemporary Native American Indian Art and Jewellery
MOKO PUNA
7th March – 26 April 2025
Very occasionally, when the stars align, we stray from our usual territory of North American Indigenous art and expand into neighbouring realms. For our spring show, we traverse the Pacific ocean to embrace the Indigenous cultures of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Rainmaker Gallery is honoured to welcome world-renowned Māori Tā Moko tattoo artist Te Rangitu Netana. Netana was born in Aotearoa and is of North Island Ngapuhi, Ngati Wai and Te Arawa tribal descent.
MOKO PUNA (grandchild) is a series of original works on paper that speak of Māori stories and lineage through a rich mix of traditional pattern with more contemporary colours and forms. In these paintings and prints, Netana translates his Tā Moko artistry into very different creative mediums.
“The influences, the storytelling and how we derive our patterns from nature are all connected, but I find that I can do things on paper that you can’t do on the body” – Te Rangitu Netana.
Tā Moko demonstration, Friday 21st March 11am – 4pm.
