Greg The Giant Takahe - Original

Jane Puckey's family has lived in Northland for generations and the exceptional natural beauty of the area is significant and meaningful to her. Jane's inspiration to paint arises from the play and contrast of New Zealand's brilliant light on the ever changing hues of the sea and deep colours of the land. 

Over the past 25 years, Jane has actively evolved her painting process from water colours to acrylics on canvas, also developing a more subtle colour palette. Jane's painting exhibits an increasing level of abstraction within structure, and overall, more sensitivity regarding tonal qualities as Jane surrenders to being fully in the present moment with her work.

The aliveness in Jane’s contemporary style evokes the beauty and presence of New Zealand, leading to her paintings and prints being celebrated and sought after by collectors here in New Zealand and internationally.

This artwork showcases the iconic figure of Greg, known for his presence on Tiritiri Matangi island. With numerous tales surrounding him, Greg's reputation for snatching picnic lunches is well-known. Created with acrylic paint on a canvas and displayed in a 640 x 440mm wooden tray frame.
