Kulabbarl (Billabong): In partnership with Injalak Arts
Fine lined ochre paintings on paper by 15 artists from Injalak Arts, Arnhem Land, of the plants and wildlife that lives in and around the billabongs of the area - waterlillies, grasses, flying foxes, brolgas, ibis, water goanna, honey eaters, long neck turtles, magpie geese and waterlilies.
Artists include senior founding artists of their art centre of Injalak - Gabriel Maralangurra , Michael Nabororlhborth, Thommo Nganjimirra, Freddie Nadjamerrerk, and Don Namundja,.... whose immediate forebears are some of the most well-known and revered figurative painters of the stone country of central west Arnhem Land. The works of the younger generation such as Ezariah Kelly, Gavin Namarnyilk , Joey Nganjmirra, Maath Malarangurra, Nelson Nayolbidj, Willie Nabulwad and Elaine Naroldol and the innovative images of senior artist Joe Guymal demonstrate the many new interpretations of this ancient culture being made today.
Notable are 12 paintings by 59-year-old Graham Badari. With their fine balance of innovation and tradition in which birds and animals emerge from dense patterns of leaves and bush or are depicted in clear, fine line work, Badari's distinctive images place him, with the other artists in this exhibition at the forefront of today's artistic practice from the stone country of central west Arnhem Land.
