Ikuntji Artists (expired event)

A fine collection of work by Ikuntji Artists from Haasts Bluff, depicting diverse representations of their ancestral Country and its Creation stories.

Ikuntji paintings are highly recognizable for their broad planes of bold colour that frequently incorporate traditional motifs and figures.

Cradled between two desert mountain ranges the Haasts Bluff region offers painters a constantly changing vista that moves through the colour spectrum throughout the day. The experimentation and innovation for which the painting from Ikuntji is known has been received enthusiastically by collectors and galleries alike. The combination of rich cultural heritage and highly developed sense of artistic freedom has produced work that stands strongly in the context of international contemporary painting.
