Textured trees with river artwork, Titled Pott’s Way 80x100cm
Titled: Pott’s way. Oil on Canvas 80x108cm Oil on Canvas 2022(SOLD)
During my time in the Opotiki area, I created textured trees with river artwork. This piece was inspired by the often forgotten rear entrance to the town, where industrial buildings line the streets. The trees themselves are not real, but rather a symbolic representation of hope for a better future. They reach towards the sky, symbolizing a limitless connection to the heavens above. The ground, unseen from this perspective, becomes a metaphorical ceiling. The mention of Pott’s in the title is a nod to Norman Potts played a role in tree conservation in Opotiki. Namely Hukutaia Domain.
The New Zealand landscape has been an ongoing theme in Collis work, other great examples of rural nz landscapes are Castles and logrollers
Trees Next to Water Painting Titled: The Last Hour
Angus Collis crafted a 130x170cm oil painting titled The last hour depicting trees positioned beside water. His artwork frequently incorporates tree imagery, capturing scenes from Spain to New Zealand. Notably, the horizon is often visible, deliberately placed at right angles to the foreground objects, resulting in an unsettling effect.

Pataka Oil on Canvas 130x170cm
This artwork was created as a commission piece with the brief summary being to create a painting with trees in blue and yellow. Interestingly the client is partially colour blind and needed colours that they would recognise. Needless to say, they were extremely happy with the result.
At the moment this work is being proofed for print, getting the colours right is taking some time but as they say all good things take time. If you are interested in a print of this artwork, feel free to contact me and I will put you on the list to recieve one of the first prints from this edition.
The reference to Pataka is illustrated in the small houses or some might say letter boxes, each to their own.
