The Figurative Collective, presents a suite of new works by Aotearoa-born Pasifika artist Andy Leleisi'uao.
Exploring themes of cultural identity and societal issues through figurative work, Andy overlays these silhouettes with repeating symbols such as puzzle pieces and shapes, creating a two-dimensional world composed in a way like mechanical gears.
Andy Leleisi'uao has exhibited widely across New Zealand and internationally, with work featured in permanent collections such as Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu, Te Papa Tongarewa and Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, and more.
