My initial focus on a number of different artists has been shifted to only Aboriginal artists. While the idea of exploring and expressing the gallery’s “capability” in exhibiting a range of art created in numerous media, the notion of Aboriginal culture has also been taken in consideration. I initially wanted to “glorify” the culture by also using the mural adjacent to my site however this glorification is rather limited and restricted and would most likely not be conveyed efficiently.
ABORIGINAL ARTISTS TO CONSIDER:Gordon Bennett (Painting – social issues, issues regarding identity, the past):
Albert Namatjira (Traditional landscape paintings – depicts almost faithfully and beautifully the many landscapes of his native land):
Fiona Foley (Lithograph/Installation):
Tracey Moffatt (Video/photography):
Michael Riley (Photography):
Emily Kngwarray (Painting):
David Malangi (Sculpture/Bark Painting):
