Depicting the colours of her land - the saltpans covering her country, the waters where the dugong can be found – Sally Gabori’s paintings explore connection and memory. The explosions of colour on her canvas are her vivid recollections of life growing up on Bentinck Island, each telling a unique story of life, of law and of land. Sally Gabori has taken the art world by storm since her introduction to paint in 2005. Colour and canvas became the catalyst for the creation of an entirely unique visual language; a way for Sally to explore life, landscape and memory.
Her fascination with colour seems as significant as the content itself. A closer look suggests the country, colour and mind’s eye combine to impart to the viewer a real and intimate sense of who Sally Gabori is and where she is from. With each sweeping brushstroke she transcends western visual art culture, taking us on a journey through her much beloved country.
