The playfulness of pop colours in Resene Pursuit, Resene Juicy, Resene Turbo, Resene Malibu and Resene Groovy were perfect when artist Shane Gault created this piece inspired by Space Invaders and the other early computer games he grew up with. Shane, a full-time teacher as well as an artist, worked with a mixture of sculpture and painting to create this pixelated work. He also makes good use of the Resene Find-A-Colour tool to choose colours: www.resene.com/findacolour. But not all of Gault’s work is technology inspired. He was first inspired by a tapa cloth gifted to him 20 years ago, admiring its simplicity and celebration of nature. His work today is a mix of technology and those more natural inspirations. See more of Shane’s designs at www.4hoovesDesign.co.nz.
Hanging one of these beautiful pieces, featuring Resene Green Meets Blue, by artist Anna Tang will lend any space immediate peace and tranquillity. Anna creates her work by applying as many as 30 layers of Resene Lumbersider to a wooden base, then carefully carving out her intricate designs. Her creations are often inspired by urban nature and wild flora, much of it from the surroundings of her Auckland home studio. Anna also enjoys the simplicity of working in duotone, and playing positive and negative space. See more of her work at www.anna-tang.com.
We home decorators are nothing if not consistent! Resene Black White has once again taken top spot as Resene’s most popular colour. Resene’s official Top 20 colours showcases our collective ongoing love of versatile neutrals, but also marks a shift to bolder, darker charcoals with the likes of Resene Bokara Grey at number four, Resene Grey Friars at 11 and Resene Shadow Match wood stain at 14. The popularity of paler subtle grey neutrals can also be seen with Resene Sea Fog in at number six, and Resene White Pointer at number eight. These greyed neutrals work well with popular muted shades from the Resene The Range fashion colours fandeck, like on-trend botanical green Resene Wabi Sabi and burnt yellow Resene Liquid Gold.
