TAG ARCHIVES: INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIAN ART

Highlights of 2010 in Australia and London.

In 2010 the National Gallery of Australia hosted a spectacular opening of the new gallery dedicated to their important collection of indigenous art. The project was the inspired initiative of the present Director, Ron Radford.

In May I hosted an incomparable exhibition of 25 works by  the spectacular Queensland artist, Sally Gabori at The Gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair.  We are most grateful for this assistance and generous help from Anna Bligh, the Premier of Queensland ,  through the Queensland Arts Marketing and Export Agency ( QIAMEA ).  The Sally Gabori exhibition was a sellout!

EXCITING NEW GENERATION INDIGENOUS ARTISTS

Serious collectors of Australian Indigenous art, at home and across the world are looking closely at two young Western Australian painters Claude Carter and Lloyd Kwilla. Carter, aged 38 and Kwilla, 30 have broken with the recent culture of painting with bright acrylic colours and create their evocative works in the most remote areas of Western Australia employing only the natural earth pigments from this rugged landscape. The paintings are dazzelingly  beautiful!!
