The exhibition
More than fifty years ago, Aboriginal artists from Central Australia began exploring new ways to express their cultural traditions. For thousands of years, they had created art by drawing on the ground, engraving designs into rock and wood, and painting their bodies for ceremonies. In time, they began to experiment with materials such as watercolour and acrylic paints, as well as techniques like batik. The artists featured in this December’s exhibition in Wimbledon were among the pioneers of this creative transformation.
Aboriginal art reflects a profound understanding of the landscapes in which each artist has lived. Many of the works in this exhibition depict the geological formations that shape the desert ecosystems surrounding their communities. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, “Country” encompasses not only the land but also the skies and waters to which they maintain deep ancestral connections. Country is both a physical and spiritual place - a source of identity, belonging, and shared origins across countless generations.
Country is both a physical and spiritual place - a source of identity, belonging, and shared origins across countless generations.
This exhibition will include work from 30 artists, including Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, Lily Kelly Napangardi, and Mitjili Napurrula, alongside relatives of Emily Kame Kngwarreye, whose artwork is currently featured at Tate London.
