Paul Dibble

Paul Dibble is a sculptor with a unique New Zealand vision. A vision shaped by the environment in which he was born and raised - the flat farmlands of the Hauraki Plains. He has worked at a time when strides have been made towards establishing a national identity and many of his artworks examine issues about New Zealand: New Zealand as the last colonial outpost; as a South Seas antipodean paradise; as a land of sheepdogs, hunters and heroes; and the current political topics of conversation and biculturalism.
