Fifty small paintings by First Nations artists encapsulate extensive creation stories in Everywhen Arts' June exhibition.
Most of the works have been collected over the past 20 years by Everywhen's curators Susan McCulloch and Emily McCulloch Childs. The exhibition demonstrates that the stories represented in small works are no less encompassing or significant than those of larger works, as distilling the imagery of often-epic stories leads to dynamic works of concentrated energy.
The earliest work in the exhibition is a circa-1984 landscape by famed Arrernte watercolourist Wenten Rubuntja (1926-2005).
Other works are by important early and founding artists of leading art centres in the Kimberley, Central and Western Deserts, Utopia, the Pilbara and Arnhem Land.
Exhibiting artists are Adrian Jangala Robertson, Agnes Armstrong Yamboong, Angelina Nampijinpa Tasman, Biddy Timbinah, Billy Benn Perrurle, Billy Tjampitjinpa Kenda, Bugai Whyoulter, Dadda Samson, Elizabeth Nyumi, Emily Pwerle, Emma Daniel Nungarrayi, Estelle Munkanome, Eunice Yunurupa Porter, Fabian Baker, Galya Pwerle, George Tjungurrayi, Geraldine Napangardi Granites, Helen Dale Samson, Jane Mervin, Julie Brumby, Kathleen Padoon, Kunmanara Tiger Yaltangki, Mark Reid, Mary Brumby, Neville Niypula McArthur, Miriam Atkins, Kumantjayi Tilau Nangala, Ningie Nanala, Nora Nungabar, Nora Wompi, Nyarrapayi Giles, Pinyirrpa Nancy Patterson, Regina Pilawuk Wilson, Roland Burrunali, Samson Namundja, Sheila Kate Gardiner, Susie Rowland,, Wenten Rubuntja, Yakari Napaltjarri
