Red Star 2 by Rusiate Lali 30x25cm

This multi layered work incorporating text and collage is a statement about China’s strength and influence now in the Pacific Region. The eyes carried by wings invites us to look at the changing world we are living in and the tapa designs symbolise movement

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.
