Don’t miss this special exhibition of works by senior artist Mick Wikilyiri alongside his daughter Yaritji Young, on now at @alcaston_gallery in Melbourne! 🧡💙🧡 #alcastongallery #mickwikilyiri #yaritjiyoung #Repost @alcaston_gallery with @repostapp ・・・ Alcaston Gallery is thrilled to present an exhibition of new paintings by senior Tjala artist Mick Wikilyiri alongside a new exhibition from his daughter Yaritji Young. The striking, contemporary works presented in these exhibitions offer a representation of country, spirituality and a rich family history of revealed creative practices. The story of the Honey Ant is the impetus within Mick Wikilyiri’s painting practice. His landscapes are thoughtfully depicted through striking imagery, stylistic experimentation and intense colour. As a respected elder in his community, Mick Wikilyiri’s highly contemporary paintings are a celebration of Anangu culture, as well as a means to protect cultural ties for future generations. Yaritji Young’s dynamic and gestural painting style depicts country and stories relating to the Tjala or Honey Ants, an important creation story for the Pitjantjatjara people. Her vibrant compositions present a combination of bold, intuitive mark making and meticulous detail. Each vigorous brush stroke holds true to the larger than life action that created it. These saturated moments of colour are energised with line drawings that seem to dance across the canvas.

This one is not to be missed!! Repost @alcaston_gallery with @repostapp ・・・ Ray Ken draws on his traditional Anangu knowledge of land and law with striking linear compositions. 2017 was an extraordinary milestone in the senior artist’s stellar career. His work featured in the major exhibitions For Country: for Nation at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, Nganaampa Kililpil: Our Stars at the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery, New South Wales and Defying Empire: 3rd National Indigenous Art Triennial at the National Gallery of Australia.

In 2017 Ray Ken was also awarded a major commission by the Australian National Memorial near Villers-Bretonneux, France.

#Repost @alcaston_gallery with @repostapp ・・・ RAY KEN, FREDDY KEN, BRENTON KEN & ANWAR YOUNG KULATA TJUTA 14 MARCH – 7 APRIL 2018 Alcaston Gallery is excited to present an exhibition of new paintings by prominent and celebrated Tjala artist Ray Ken, together with Brenton Ken, Freddy Ken and a striking installation of handcrafted kulata (spears) by emerging artist Anwar Young. With lively use of colour and movement the artists have created sophisticated and contemporary works inspired by the APY landscape and history, showcasing their artistic virtuosity and rich cultural heritage. The works presented in this exhibition reference the Kulata Tjuta Project which was established in 2010 at Tjala Arts by Ray Ken, Mick Wikilyiri, Frank Young, and the late Kunmanara Wangin, Kunmanara Tiger and Hector Burton. The Kulata Tjuta Project celebrates the deep importance of traditional spear making in Anangu culture and continues to inspire the daily life of the artists and their work, enabling the senior men to teach the emerging young leaders. All four artists are highly respected for the profound cultural knowledge reflected in their practice, and the dynamic works have been brought together to create a bold and diverse exhibition of contemporary art from the APY Land For further information please visit the website or email art@alcastongallery.com.au #Art #spears #painting #RayKen #AnwarYoung #FreddyKen #BrentonKen #country #APYLands #Landscape #History
