Hello everyone, I’m at the NSW art gallery & I’m going to do a thread of some of the art I saw today!
I really loved the way time & events are portrayed in this Robinya painting.
I thought about @YvesRees here! A stunning painting! & wonderful grappling with big ideas. Also pink.
I’ve always loved Abdul Abdullah’s art! He has two paintings in today’s combined exhibition—
This was incredible. Beyond incredible. Divine, you might even say. Marikit Santiago is very talented.
This one is for @femmocollective , we are going to live together in this pink house. Lucy O’Doherty.
This was beyond beautiful. Alec Baker & Peter Mungkuri, collaborative painting.
This painting gave me goosebumps. This style of painting recalled to me Albert Namajitra’s landscapes. Hubert Pareroultja.
Yukultji Napangati—Sandhills, rock hole, water site.
I thought of @MsFriedmann here—look at this fire. John R Walker.
This triptych is really expansive & detailed & I thought of @wtb_Michael... details of birds to come. Julianne Ross Allcorn.
More bird details for @wtb_Michael
Also thought of you, @MondayStory
This was incredible. Mulkun Wirrpanda.
Another powerful collaborative painting, this one by Keith Stevens, Taylor Cooper, Witjiti George.
This!!! I can hear the sand dunes—Dhuwarrwarr Marika.
I’ve always loved the story of the Seven Sisters. In chinese culture we have a seven sisters story too. This painting by Nyunmiti Burton.
Margaret Richards paints her Country.
I love this small watercolour by Gino Palmieri, it makes me think of @brekfast_
Nick Stathopoulos paints Ngaiire!
Claus Stangl paints L-FRESH The LION.
Angus McDonald paints Behrouz Boochani.
A lovely self portrait by Tsering Hannaford. Anything that references Artemsia Gentileschi floats my boat.
The WINNING PAINTING!!!! Vincent Namatjira paints Adam Goodes.
A really beautiful, intimate, tender portrait by William Mackinnon of Sunshine & Lucky.
Blak Douglas paints Dujuan Hossan.
Abdul Abdullah’s self portrait for the Archibald.
Yoshio Honjo paints @adamliaw ! I love this painting so much. The energy in the piece, the colour, the sumi ink... 💖
Super powerful painting by Tianli Zu of Tim Flannery. I love how her tender gaze is turned onto Tim who is in turn looking up at a lelo forest as if submerged.
This was amazing to behold in person. @meynewyatt self portrait.
This small self portrait by Yuri Shimmyo is my absolute favourite painting of today. Right down to the carnation milk tins on the shelf. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I voted for Yuri Shimmyo’s ‘Carnation, lily, Yuri, rose’.
Thanks for coming to the art gallery with me today! Pls support the art of Aboriginal & Torres Straits Islanders, POC, women!! Buy their art, spread the word. Have a lovely day. ❤️❤️❤️
Um I always exit thru the gift shop. Look at this Aboriginal excellence!!
Look @yodaberg, Lea Stein
