The pillow surface pattern mirrors overlaying shapes that distinguish shades of yellow only to merge into a square. 

Ellen Giggenbach, a New Zealand artist, however, uses this technique with more complexity.  

She states explicitly in her own words: “Each design starts its life as an idea only. Piece by piece, it grows like a puzzle till even one more element would upset a carefully crafted balance of shape and color.”

How does it come to fruition in the Huia Dreams art print?

Pair-up Orange Throw Pillows Printed With A Square Pixel Pattern

Two orange throw pillows with a pixelated pattern are the focus of the decor exploration.

Both pillow print versions display a monochrome color mix. Their difference is one pattern has its colors lightened by white, while the second example shows them subdued by black. Since a geometric square pattern underlies the pixel effect, the pillows are versatile in their accommodation of various styles.

Beyond The Cascade Art Print By Diane Adams

Diane Adams is the painter of Beyond The Cascade art print. Adams is a well known contemporary New Zealand artist.

Hues in mud-brown, moss-green, and grey-blue dominate the print. Here, a landscape in the Southern Alps unfolds. Cabbage trees break up the front of the mountainous scene. And the cascade follows a meandering stream that leads the viewer towards the snow-capped Southern Alps at the horizon. The overcast sky takes the chance that the sun can light up the landscape’s dull coloration. 

Beyond The Cascade is a new release by the artist, who loves hiking and gains her inspiration from her excursions. Many of her better-known prints are testimony to her passion for the beauty of New Zealand.

Rocks With Mountain Art Print By Michael Smither

Michael Smither is the painter of Rocks With Mountain art print. Smither is a well known contemporary New Zealand artist.

The print favors hues in grey and blue with a balancing element in red. An unusual perspective portraits Mount Taranaki which leads the observer’s eye from a front-centered close-up view of rounded rocks surrounding a waterhole becoming smaller and smaller towards the distant horizon. There a red tractor stops the eye before it wanders to the snow-capped Mt. Taranaki.The Mountain peaks proudly into a cloudless blue sky.

It is a popular non-limited print edition that beautifully celebrates the different textures that come together. There is the distinct smooth round shape of the pebbles and the clear transparent and insubstantial element of the water bordered by rounded stones. Then there is the snowy mountain top breaking through the clearness of the sky. Using the size of the pebbles in the front the same size as the red tractor that appears in the distance, the artist masterfully creates the impression of vastness and resulting in a landscape with depth.

Mount Taranaki has two official names. The second name is Mount Egmont. It is a dormant volcano in the Taranaki Region on the West Coast of New Zealand’s North Island.

Here, the red color splash of the print finds reflection in the home decor. Two throw pillows in shades of the faint red of the tractor decorate a blue armchair. Both display a fragmented circle pattern.
