LYONEL GRANT Pou Pou (Taranaki Style) Lyonel Grant (Ngāti Pikiao, Te Arawa) is one of New Zealand’s most celebrated contemporary carvers. Born in 1957 in Rotorua, he trained under master carver Hōne Taiapa at the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute. Grant has carved numerous significant public and private commissions, including Ngākua Māhaki (AUT Marae) and Te Noho Kotahitanga, a wharenui that blends customary carving with modern architectural form. This finely carved pou pou, standing just under a metre tall, is the work of master carver Lyonel Grant and reflects the Taranaki style of Māori carving, noted for its bold symmetry, rhythmic surface patterns, and powerful stylisation of the human form.
