Muriwai is an open edition print by Auckland artist Steve Ballantyne. This New Zealand artwork is a beautiful piece that merges creativity with digital tools, mainly using a photo-illustration style. This unique art form combines the realism of photography with the imaginative flair of illustration.
The Muriwai stretch of coastline is a place of boundless energy. Horse riders, off-roaders, dirt bike riders, surfers, fishermen and dog walkers all share the "coastal highway" and in summertime it's very busy. Behind the dunes is Woodhill Forest, lakes, and hills from where breath-taking views of the Tasman can be witnessed, making it a spectacular location for New Zealand and International movie makers. Pair the Muriwai with the Piha print, bringing back memories of Auckland's rugged West Coast.
"Muriwai" is printed on high quality Epson Enhanced 192gsm matte paper, so you'll get images with sharp detail, high colour saturation and a high gamut. It is quick drying with a flat matte finish and a bright white base that accentuates highlights and tones.
Your print will carry a digital signature on the bottom right hand corner and care is taken with the print process and quality checks to ensure your print is perfect.
Images are printed to order, so please allow around a week for unframed art and around 2 weeks for framed art.
Prints are available with a white, black or natural frame in glass (with white border) and canvas with or without a float frame.
