Kiwiana art is a celebration of the unique visual culture from New Zealand/Aotearoa. As NZ's art print specialists since 1966, NZ Fine Prints' Kiwiana art collection is the most comprehensive source to find all the iconic kiwina wall art that's for sale right now.
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 if you haven't visited our online store for a while!. 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 in scope over the past two decades in particular as the term has steadily gained respectability (no longer regarded as being a synonym for kitsch) to become by now a convenient shorthand for nearly all artworks by NZ artists, not just the pictures that specifically celebrate kiwiana icons like the buzzy bee. It was around 2010 that we realised that some gift buyers asking for Kiwiana art were using it as a synonym for NZ landscape paintings! Until then 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.
