In Between Hieroglyphics series by Rusiate Lali, 31x25cm

Throughout life’s journey, we can sometimes feel that we are traveling along parallel lines simultaneously – and it is about the choices we make along the way. The artist sees these works as an expression of both his cultural and artistic journey.

The series were painted in 2004 whilst living in Sydney listening to David Bowie music.

Rusiate, one of the most exciting and provocative artists to exhibit at Gallery Gondwana, comes from a long lineage of potters, carvers, tapa cloth and fibre artists. Named Contemporary Fijian Artist of the Year in 1999, Rusiate’s work is a sensuous mix of past and present, myth and reality. He has had five solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions. To date much of his work has explored his personal experiences and his universal awareness of social issues. He handles these subjects with intelligence and sensitivity.
