A fantastic exhibition of contemporary indigenous artworks from a very special local art collection – the passion of two Wangaratta art lovers, Ron and Ross Aldridge –will run throughout summer in the Gallery Workshop Space.
My Country brings together a selection from their collection that focuses largely on the central and western Australian desert regions.
All seven of the well-known Petyarre sisters are represented in the exhibition. Originally working in batik in the 1970s, the sisters eventually made the change to painting on canvas to portray their traditional motifs and stories. These include ceremonial body paint designs, the Mountain Devil Lizard Dreaming and the distinctive undulating leaf motif developed by Gloria Petyarre.
Passed down through the generations the artists, depict motifs representing their individual ‘Dreaming’. The exhibition title ‘My Country’ comes from the work of Ngoia Pollard Napaltjarri depicting her father’s country the sacred Walpiri Territory where the swamps and lakes are represented by the oval shapes in the work.
