Ian David George (1953–2016) was a New Zealand-born Cook Islands senior painter, carver, educator, and curator of Aitu and Rarotonga descent.[1][2][3]
In 2003, George also co-curated an exhibition named Te Ata Ou as a response to Paringa Ou. Te Ata Ou was exhibited in Christchurch to be part of the Pacific Arts Association Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand. George and his wife Kay George, also a notable artist herself, ran an art gallery named the Art Studio, (now Beluga Cafe), in Arorangi.[4]
Director David George dedicated a full-length feature documentary 'Aka'ōu: Tātatau in the Cook Islands to his father Ian George, about a heavily-tattooed Englishman living in Rarotonga named Croc Coulter.[5]
George died in Rotorua, New Zealand, where he was also born.[2]
