A Town Called Lawrence Nathan Pohio

Ngai Tahu artist and filmmaker Nathan Pohio's work is infused with an enjoyment of the quirks and idiosyncrasies of those around him. Highlighting bizarre obsessions and quests, his work is a playful celebration of the weird and wonderful in us all. It is often infused with layers of history that Pohio draws from his Maori and Pakeha ancestry, creating works which are both good humored and challenging. For his debut appearance at Blue Oyster, Pohio will travel work that will also have been exhibited at the new Christchurch Art Gallery.
