LAF Recommends | Tjukurpa by Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi
Thirty-six years ago, Rebecca Hossack introduced Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri to London - a pioneer of the Papunya painting movement whose work changed the way the world saw Indigenous Australian art. Now, for ###VIII Songlines Season, the gallery presents the work of his daughter.
Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi's paintings carry that lineage forward, rooted in Anmatyerre Dreaming stories passed to her by her paternal grandmother and the senior women who shaped her vision.
Grandmother's Country rendered in pinks, mauves, and burnt earth. The Seven Sisters rise through deep violet skies to become the Pleiades. Each canvas is a map of sacred country, of women's knowledge, of a living culture.
On view until 29 August at the Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery. Learn more via the link - https://bit.ly/4og73Vc 🔗
