A new style of art will decorate the walls the IGFA Art Gallery beginning in September as Tahitian artist Tinomana Vachot combines the traditional art of the Marquesas, Tuamotu and Hawaiian Islands societies, with his intricate designs capturing the beauty, spirit and culture of the Polynesian Triangle Paradise.

Pictured is "Haura Tatau," a one-of-a-kind piece done on tapa bark cloth which is created through a labor-intensive process that has been passed from generation to generation. The Yakka wood frame and woven Lauhala mat complete ??? and compliment -- Vachot's unique work of art. The show opens September 2008.
