Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Kerehi Tikihana Pararaki Wikiriwhi, also known as Greg Whitecliffe (August 4, 1954 Шаблон:En dash February 15, 2001),[1] was an artist from New Zealand.

Whitecliffe's father was Maori and his mother was of English descent.[2]

In 1983, Whitecliffe and his wife Michele co-founded the Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design in Auckland, New Zealand. Whitecliffe served as its president.[3]

In 1994, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in Britain.[3]

Whitecliffe's work reflected his Maori heritage.[2][3] In 1996, his work was reviewed in the New York Times as "a bewildering mix of history, anthropology, myth and reminiscence."[2] The Fort-Worth Star Telegram described his paintings as "full of life".[4]

He died in Auckland in 2001, at the age of 46.[3]

His painting Pikiao is part of the permanent collection of the Vodafone Events Centre in Auckland.[5]
