Whether figurative or abstract, painting is a form of storytelling. In the paintings presented, narratives relate to personal stories and stories of belonging, factual and imagined situations that allude to historical events and psychological states of being, and meditations on the physical universe as mythic and phenomenal life forces.
Inherently visual, paintings are also tactile and temporal, expressed in choices of scale, format and support – fine linen, heavy canvas or bark, to the palette, application and type of paints, pigments and use of other media, including textiles, thread and the written word. Their intelligence is an invitation to look, think, feel and, also, to imagine.
Artists include Karen Black, Angela Brennan, Eleanor Louise Butt, Prudence Flint, Maria Madeira, Thea Anamara Perkins, Kerrie Poliness, Jude Rae, Jessica Rankin, Julie Nangala Robertson, Gemma Smith, Jelena Telecki, Jenny Watson and Nyapanyapa Yunupingu.
