Exhibition: People of the Land

Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:31:27 +0930

April - July 2011 Online Exhibition and Special Sale Invitation to our customers and subscribers 'People of One Land' is a collection of works by a group of leading artists who paint the striking central and northern Australian country and outback regions they live in. These artists come from various homelands and communities in the central desert and top end. Linear works depicting sand hills, earth elements and country are common details amongst this collection of paintings. Willy Tjungurrayi from Lake Mackay uses bold colours and portrays a minimalistic linear likeness to the works of Lily Kelly Napangardi from Haasts Bluff. Sarrita and Tarisse King from Katherine and Darwin produce works from a younger generation of Indigenous painters, with a push towards 'elemental dreamings' and stories of fire, lightning, water, earth cycles and sand hills. Judy Watson Napangardi paints her native Mina Mina country and the local honey ants and snake dreamings. Her design approach and colour schemes have an individual quality and vibrancy with the added feature of texture throughout the finished paintings. 'People of One Land" is a collection of unique collectable works. In this exhibition of works, Central Art aims to nurture and showcase the best of Aboriginal contemporary culture. These works are part of a Central Art promotion and we are offering 20% off all works. Warm wishes, Sabine Haider, Director
