About the ExhibitionMy Country by Kudditji Kngwarreye Back by popular demand. Central Art is showcasing more works by the senior Utopian artist Kudditji Kngwarreye in the My Country series.These powerful, bold and striking works represent Kudditji’s evolution as an artist. His works have progressed from the restrained, meticulously executed Emu Dreaming stories to stunning bold abstracts using bold sweeping brush strokes and striking combination of colours. They works capture the very essence of Kudditji’s country – the 1800 square kilometer region known as Utopia.Like his famous older sister the late Emily Kame Kgnwarreye, Kudditji is a custodian of this country. Although developing a more abstract style in their later years, both remained faithful to their Dreamings.Kuddtjiji knows this country intimately. He has travelled across it on foot, as a stockman and as a miner. His works capture the very essence of the desert. They vary from patchworks of brilliant irregular squares representing disparate tracts of land to sweeping colours that reflect the wide flat horizons of the weathered desert landscape. The My Country works of Kudditji Kngwarreye have captured international attention. He was recently represented at the Arken Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen to huge success. Although a frail man now approaching his eightieth year, Kudditji continues to paint his country in a passionate and compelling way. The Kudditji Kngwarreye Artist Feature runs from Tuesday November 10 2008 until Friday January 16 2009. |
