In the next few weeks I am introducing an artist from Papua New Guinea who comes from the first generation after Mathias Kauage (there are different spellings for this name) to you. This artist is called Mr. Simon Gende.
He was a personal friend of Kauage and tutored by him. Shortly after, Simon Gende developed his own style and themes, which he still devotes himself to. Simon Gende has already had exhibitions in Australia, Fiji and New Zealand and is one of the most important genuine representatives of the first generation of the painting art movement.
His areas of interest in painting are:
• International Politics
• Religion
• Social criticism general
• World events
• Warfare and
• His teacher Sir Mathias Kauage
The 50-year-old exceptional artist gets his ideas from the national newspapers and the exchange with others in the mountains of Papua New Guinea. There he processes the information into his painting to create the unique art that you will see in the next couple of weeks here.
Today we start with some pictures on the subject „international politics”:
