Tapatoru Pink & Purple III

Tapatoru Pink & Purple III | Mike Paora 

This stunning work, "Tapatoru Pink & Purple III," by Mike Paora is a contemporary sculpture or wall panel that explores the power of geometric abstraction and texture .

The piece is a dynamic, circular composition built from dozens of hand-assembled triangular segments (tapatoru is Māori for triangle). These segments are crafted from a complex mix of natural wood grains and richly coloured acrylics in vibrant pinks, purples, and blues.

Mike Paora's work is characterized by the meticulous layering of texture, where natural wood grain patterns contrast with bold, modern colours and often deeply carved or textured surfaces. The overall effect is a striking blend of contemporary design and traditional Māori patterning, emphasizing rhythm and depth.

This extraordinary piece is a defining example of Paora's vision, creating a dialogue between the organic warmth of wood and the sharp, energetic quality of colour and geometry.

Display this exceptional work as a bold, modern statement of texture, colour, and geometric complexity.
