Chapman’s Homer - Bull Sculpture

Michael Parekowhai's amazing artwork is back in the city, and now located just outside the Christchurch Art Gallery! 

The overall title for the project is based on the poem ‘On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer’ by the nineteenth-century English Romantic poet John Keats. In this Keats describes a Spanish adventurer climbing to the top of a hill in what is now Panama and looking out over the Pacific to survey its potential riches for the first time.
