ALCASTON GALLERY COLLECTORS EXHIBITION•MIND MAPPING COLOUR - ALL ABOUT ARTISTS 2024
'colour is always more than colours'....
Alcaston Gallery presents Mind Mapping Colour – All About Artists, a significant collectors' exhibition featuring paintings and sculptures from some of Australia’s most influential and eminent contemporary artists.
The second instalment in Alcaston Gallery’s Counterpoint series, Mind Mapping Colour – All About Artists showcases important work by represented and exhibiting artists Karen Mills, Kunmanara (Tiger) Yaltangki (1973-2024), Betty Kuntiwa Pumani, Rene Sundown, Adrian Jurra Tjungurrayi, Shirley Macnamara and Dean Smith, as well as special releases from the Estates of Ginger Riley Munduwalawala (c.1936 – 2002), Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori (c.1924 - 2015), Kuruwarriyingathi Bijarrb Paula Paul (c.1937 - 2021) and Thunuyingathi Bijarrb May Moodoonuthi (c.1929 -2008).
As master colourists, these artists capture the vivid hues and distinctive character of their environment, visualised from the mind’s eye and translated into an explosive palette of colour. Atmospheric and harmonious, their use of colour conveys more than mere naturalistic representation, speaking to deeper significances, symbolic, real and imagined. Exhibited together, these diverse artistic practices and perspectives converge to reveal a rich and nuanced portrayal of the Australian landscape.
