Artist Concept:
"Mangawhai Nights" captures the tranquil, mystical side of Mangawhai, where the sounds of the sea and the cool night air blend together in harmony. In contrast to the sun-drenched days, this piece reflects the serenity of the night, with moonlit waves and the gentle glow of the stars above. Made from the same sustainable materials as the original, the acrylic offcuts and layers of texture now evoke the calm and quiet beauty of Mangawhai after sunset. The koro symbol still embodies the sense of friendship and unity, but here, it’s a more intimate and reflective gathering—moments shared around the campfire, under the starlit sky. This piece invites you to relax into the peaceful atmosphere of Mangawhai, where the warmth of the day transitions into the soothing embrace of night.
Mangawhai Nights
My Shiny Perspective:
Ever wonder what Mangawhai feels like when the sun clocks out for the night? It’s like the whole place exhales, shifting from sun-soaked fun to starry calm. In Mangawhai Nights, I’ve taken those signature campfire moments, where you sip your drink, chat with mates, and let the waves whisper in the background, and bottled them up in an artwork. No golden sunsets here—this is all about the moonlight reflecting on the waves, the cool breeze, and maybe a sneaky late-night dip if you're feeling adventurous. Who needs the hustle of the day when the night is just as magical? It’s Mangawhai like you’ve never seen it—soft, calm, and ready to lull you into the best kind of night-time nostalgia.
