Ian George’s art work is known for its central focus on the restoration and reinvention of Cook Islands iconography within a contemporary timeframe, in particular, the traditional Cook Islands deity Tangaroa. His engaging, multi-layered works sought not only to re-affirm his identity, but also served as a way to preserve the history and dignity of the spiritual beliefs held by pre-missionary Cook Islanders.
