Aloha,

Puhh! That was a realy busy week and I worked every day till eary in the morning. :roll:
But now I fortunately finished my latest piece for the "Fine Art Tiki" artshow during
the Hukilau festival and the Harold Golen Gallery.

I created an 31 x 8 x 8 inches wooden display cabinet, which I called "The Forbidden Paradise".
A mystical and adorable Polynesian diorama with many details, tikis, figures, plants .....
and much more. But see yourself!

The "The Forbidden Paradise" display cabinet will be shown during the Hukilau form June 12th to 15th
at the Yankee Clipper Hotel in Fort Lauderdale / Florida.
Then it will be shown from June 16th to July 12th at the Harold Golen Gallery /314 N W 24th street in Miami / Florida.

I would be very happy if some of you will visit the artshow and give me some feedback to my work.
Perhaps, somebody could make pics of the show.

Now, I will spend some days on water and make a boat trip in the north of Germany.
I will relax a little bit and brood about a new project! :)

Here I proudly present the "The Forbidden Paradise" display cabinet:

First you can see the whole cabinet with the carved relief on the top and the stilts.

At the relief you can see the tiki god protecting the vulnerable and occult paradise with his shields and the wisdom of the ocean.

The skull eyes are out of bone!

"Forbidden Paradise" from different views!

The shack of the inhabitants!

The tree house and the rope bridge!

The tiki figures of the cabinet!

The inhabitants!

The plants!

And if the blue night is comming, turn on the lights!

Feel good at the "Forbidden Paradise" and follow your dreams.
Good night!
