Aotearoa - Auckland City by Alex McCormick in Auckland
Aotearoa - Auckland City
This was completely a "leave it in your hands" mural for a gate at a new building in Silverdale for the company I was employed under. They gave me complete trust to create a representation of New Zealand - Aotearoa and the focus being Auckland City. I took months to create in oversized sheets of 4mm Thick Alloy. And was installed with opal acrylic in to enhance the artwork and design overall.
12m long and 1.8m high, multiple panels.

Meet the Artist
Auckland, New ZealandI am a passionate and versatile artist with over 20 years of experience specializing in face and body art, murals, and large-scale creative projects. My journey in the art world has led me to work with prestigious companies such as Air New Zealand and to participate in the New Zealand Body Art Awards, where I have showcased my skills in bringing imaginative concepts to life.
Beyond body and face painting, I am also a dedicated canvas and mural artist, transforming spaces with bold and meaningful designs.
My expertise extends into sculptural steel work and CAD design, where I take ideas from concept to completion—turning sketches into tangible, functional creations which I have been undertaking for the past 6+ years with lazer cutting, folding and rolling for council and clients alike. With a deep understanding of both artistic expression and technical precision, I thrive in bringing unique visions to reality.
