Mahuru Māori Month | Huia Hamon
Conversation with Huia Hamon
Join us in celebrating Mahuru Māori Month with an exclusive feature on one of our favourite artists, Huia Hamon.
Celebrating her 70th year, Susan Te Kahurangi King is an ever more-celebrated contemporary artist, exhibited in Aotearoa and as far afield as London, Paris, and New York. The second of 12 siblings, Susan was three years old when she began to withdraw from speaking; by eight years old she was mute. But it wasn’t until many years later that it was discovered that she had autism.
Now 14 years old, Markus’s paintings sell for tens of thousands of dollars around the world, with proceeds going to good causes.
The large, colourful two-dimensional surfaces of Claudia Kogachi profile the conflicts of the artists personal life.
