The Virus artist: Winnie Weoa (PNG) acrylic on canvas (150x 200cm) Artist's comment: This work explores and highlights the deadly AIDS virus in the contemporary Pacific. 
Relocation artist: Winnie Weoa (PNG) acrylic on canvas (150 x 200cm) Artist's comment: Realities of small island nations in the Pacific and climate change. 
Transition artist: Jeffry Feeger (PNG) acrylic on canvas (130 x 170cm), 2009. Artist's comment: In Transition, the subject is a young Bougainville child blended into an orchid and a hibiscus. For me, this painting brings home so many aspects of Papua New Guinea life. It is epic in its scale and in its message. On the surface, this painting is about finding our love for the earth again, and that some of us are still in ‘transition’. It is also about how children can be our teachers, in that they can be so closely connected with nature. 
Preparation artist: Abraham Lagi (Fiji) oil on canvas (95 x 100cm), 2009 Artist's comment: Being a Christian, I believe in the second coming of the almighty, Jesus. He would take us to the place that he had prepared for us, but only if we prepare ourselves. For like a storm, only those that are prepared will be safe. |
