One of New Zealand’s most well known artists, Michel is a renowned printmaker, painter & sculpture who has made a major contribution to art world-wide. You may know Michel for his life-size ‘Pisupo lua afe (Corned beef)’, a cow constructed from flattened, riveted corn beef tins & currently in Te Papa Museum.
Michel’s work is shaped by his research into, and encounters with his Polynesian heritage while making use of Māori design. Michel is a lovely, laid back & inspiring man whom we are stoked to have onboard as a contributing artist with our wine- barrel boards and CAUSE projects.
