Comprising three towering, slender prints, Simon’s piece unfolds as a meditative sequence. The scenes do not align, encouraging a gentle, unhurried viewing. Canoe forms appear in two panels, drifting within generous white space. Monochromatic and poised, the work creates a deeply calming rhythm – a spatial and emotional pause shaped by balance, breath and quiet connection.

There has been much written about Simon Kaan’s beautifully articulated printed and painted scapes. His soft focus, tranquil palette and finely stacked horizons, peppered with highly emotive and delicately rendered symbols and icons, have become a well-known and much-loved addition to the New Zealand art canon. But there is also a sense that there is something undisclosed, the strands of other more heavily loaded ideas lurking just below the surface of his serene visions of land and sea.
