A new exhibition featuring Fatu Feu’u, Vanya Taule’alo, and Isabelle Staron-Tutugoro explores the connection between artists who operate in different realms of the Pacific. “Between Two Worlds” brings together the work of Fatu Feu’u, the elder statesman of Pacific Island art in New Zealand, and a selection of pieces by Vanya Taule’alo, and Isabelle Staron-Tutugoro both of whom are long-time residents of Samoa and New Caledonia respectively. The exhibition opens at Christchurch’s Salamander Gallery on Monday 15 February (today) and continues until 7 March 2010. The Salamander Gallery specialises in art of the Pacific and represents artists such as Fatu Feu’u, Michel Tuffery, Dagmar Dyck, Nanette Lela’ulu and Sheyne Tuffery.
