Whangarei based self-taught artist Josh Kiwikiwi, is a keen 23-year-old multi-skilled painter & illustrator who since 2016 has been advancing his technique and style.
People and human expressions are Josh’s subject of choice creating a visual analysis that evokes contemplation of perceived emotions.
Working with both Acrylics/mixed media & Oils, Josh paints using a unique expressionist style with a deep affinity for color and light that plays with texture and depth to create rich powerful imagery.
With an eye for his own Maori Heritage, as well as African, & Aboriginal cultural influences, referenced in most of his work, Josh loves to deviate and transition such subject matters into other styles of painting & illustration.
Becoming a fulltime artist is his goal this year, already with a new studio being set up in the town Centre, and stocking prints for sale as well as original pieces, Josh is already on his way.
You can find his work both on Facebook and Instagram
