Greg Semu The Last Cannibal Supper

This new suite of four works critiques the impact of spiritual colonisation on indigenous Pacific culture and their belief systems. It follows on from the Battle of the Noble Savage, 2007 which referenced physical colonisation by European forces. Through reference to classical paintings, and their encoded iconography, these works introduce a visual dialogue anticipating a deeper understanding.

The Last Cannibal Supper was first exhibited at Tjibaou Cultural Centre, Noumea, New Caledonia
