Alan Taylor was inspired to paint this latest series Cooks Landings following on from his previous exhibition Navigators which explored the birth of New Zealand with the discovery of Aotearoa.

Cooks Landings delve into the first encounter exploring this event and how this has made us who we are today, The cross cultural meeting of 2 two people coexisting as one, with his in-depth knowledge on 19 century Maori and incorporating his unique iconography Taylor takes us on a journey of self discovery on a personal level but also to look at ourselves as an interacting community that thrives not on an uncertain past but with a vision to optimistic future.
