\"New
\nOcean conservation foundation PangeaSeed has gathered 30 artists from around the world for Oceans Festival Sea Walls in the coastal city of Napier in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0mural depicting a diver filming sharks was designed and painted by New Zealand artist Freeman White as a tribute to late\u00a0Sharkwater<\/em><\/a>\u00a0filmmaker Rob Stewart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Freeman had help from student John Berryman, who was a volunteer for the festival. The mural also features Hammerhead sharks, which were Rob\u2019s favorites. The piece includes a quote from Rob that reads: \u201cConservation is the preservation of human life on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mural was painted in five days during the festival from March 20 to 25 and is Freeman\u2019s largest mural to date at approximately 23 x 4 metres.<\/p>\n

\"FreemanFreeman told us he was approached by Tre Packard, the founder of PangeaSeed, saying, \u201cTre approached me with the idea of creating a tribute to Rob and his amazing work it the field of shark conservation.\u00a0I was deeply affected when watching Sharkwater<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and felt that it would be a great honour to paint a mural in tribute to Rob.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rob went missing during\u00a0a dive in Florida on January 31, 2017. He was working on a sequel to Sharkwater<\/a><\/em>\u00a0at the time. The sequel, titled Sharkwater: Extinction<\/em><\/a>, is still in production and will be completed by his team to honor his memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-2183581","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNew Zealand artist pays tribute to Rob Stewart and Sharkwater -
