Kiwiana art is a visual celebration of the unique icons of everyday New Zealand life. NZ Fine Prints' Kiwiana art collection is the easiest way to buy this uniquely NZ wall art.
Kiwiana is not just the kiwi brands that resonate across Aotearoa, from the Kiwiana art collection you can buy pictures of Kiwi icons like Ed Hillary and Barry Crump, the term is no longer limited to the classic kiwiana prints & posters like Four Square Man. This collection is also a great starting point to explore the thousands of NZ prints in stock at New Zealand's specialist art print and poster retailer since 1966 if you haven't visited our online store before!. All prints ready to be delivered throughout NZ or to kiwis living anywhere in the world (we deliver for just $NZ20 worldwide).
This specialist kiwiana art print collection grown steadily since its creation way back in 2010 by NZ Fine Prints, at a time when Kiwiana began to grow in respectability (no longer regarded as being a synonym for kitsch) to become almost a convenient shorthand for nearly all artworks by NZers, not just the pictures that specifically celebrate kiwiana icons like the buzzy bee. In particular we realised that gift buyers were asking for Kiwiana art when they were wanting to buy NZ landscape prints! Until recently the term Kiwiana had not been widely used in the art world, consigning a NZ artists' images to a gallery called "Kiwiana" might possibly have been seen as damning their art with very faint praise, as in "it might not be a very accomplished painting but it's an ok piece of kiwiana". This is certainly no longer the case. To recognise this change our kiwiana art prints collection is a combination of both classic retro kiwiana, contemporary kiwiana created by proudly self-described Kiwiana artists like Jason Kelly and Matt Guild and a selection of other prints from our vast catalogue that could be used to create a more broadly kiwiana aesthetic for your space.
