Venus and Mars limited edition etching (unframed) by Rusiate Lali PRINTRB-13

In this etching we are invited to perceive the playfulness, lightness and beauty of Venus, the planet of love alongside the characteristics of the planet Mars, often associated with more masculine qualities. Both figures symbolise they are incomplete one without the other, inviting us to incorporate both the feminine and the masculine within us all.

Rusiate, one of the most exciting and provocative artists to exhibit at Gallery Gondwana, comes from a long lineage of potters, carvers, tapa cloth and fibre artists. Named Contemporary Fijian Artist of the Year in 1999, Rusiate’s work is a sensuous mix of past and present, myth and reality. He has had five solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions. To date much of his work has explored his personal experiences and his universal awareness of social issues. He handles these subjects with intelligence and sensitivity.
