Hotere's great strength (and perhaps this comes from his Maori ancestry) is that his paintings seem to emerge from, and communicate to, the soul.
It seems as if Hotere is less concerned with artistic perfection than with human expression; and that he has sufficiently absorbed technical challenges and now wishes to express as directly as possible a human, social and spiritual experience.
Don Peebles differs from Ralph Hotere in that this work is not consciously concerned with meanings, symbols or emotive feelings; and unlike Hotere there is no reference to anything outside the work.

The film did, however, explore an interesting paradox relating to Hotere’s body of protest works and their relationship to the institutions that they often stood in protest to, but in which they are inevitably displayed.
For example, a close-up on one of Hotere’s works concerned with the Maori struggle for land rights on Rangitoto Island panned out to show that the work was located in the foyer of the Auckland Regional Council.
Hotere is one more step towards righting this situation by celebrating the complexity of Maori culture in an international context.

Like some kind of reticent tidal creature, Ralph Hotere shuns publicity and avoids the public eye, retaining as much of an aura of artistic integrity as is possible in this day and in this country.
Last week saw the arrival of his newest paintings and things to the Temple Gallery, where prospective buyers were identifiable by their tidy hair and concentrated scribblings; Omaruvians were out in quaintly demented force, and the wine was the best I’ve tasted in a long time.
Ralph in his enigmatic grouchyness seems to attract both reverence and speculation, and just before I arrived at the exhibition I heard rumours of him being gravely ill, or dying, or dead, or maybe all three.

As tohunga of his tribe, Hotere’s father, Tangirau, held the authority to pass this text onto his son.
In turn, Hotere later “gifted” the esteemed text to his friend Colin McCahon, who used it as the subject for his major painting, The song of the Shining Cuckoo 1974, now held in the Collection of the Hocken Library, Dunedin.

Although Hotere's aesthetic has been described as "severe minimalist abstraction", his works are poetic, not only in the sense that at times they literally feature lines of poetry inscribed upon their surfaces.
Hotere began using words as part of his imagery in the early 1960s.

 Paradox of Black Light - Ralph Hotere
Ralph Hotere is the first artist of Maori descent to have been written, by Pakeha, as early as 1968, into a history of New Zealand art.
Hotere’s first exhibition in Europe was held at the Galérie Chandor, Tourette-sur-Loup, near Vence, in 1962.
If Hotere is to find his niche in the international art world, as seems highly likely, it will be the European civility, sensitivity, elegance and sheer gorgeousness of his art that will earn him his place there.

 Art: At the temple of Ralph by Bridie Lonie | New Zealand Listener
Wandering into this environment recently were Ralph Hotere and Mary McFarlane’s twinned exhibitions, with their glittering images spotlit in a dark space – along with uniformed security guards, known from the Dunedin Public Art Gallery but so unfamiliar in private spaces that I thought they were simply on their way home.
Hotere’s concerns remain with a politicised and explicitly symbolic universe.
In litho drawings with collaged and inscribed texts, Hotere draws relationships between the Union Jack and the Star of David – a metallic paper form of the flag cut into a star, and placed inside another star; in steel, the star’s points cut into triangular, empty spaces.
