Featuring unique mark-making or bold colour, incorporating new materials, or themes, this exhibition is drawn primarily from the Araluen Collection, but also includes Western Desert paintings on loan from the National Gallery of Australia – marking the inception and evolution of this contemporary art movement that originated in Papunya in the early 1970s.
Among the works on show is Alison Alder’s Carcass, 2009, which won the 2010 Alice Prize; a screen-printed triptych, it draws inspiration from Sidney Nolan’s carcasses painted in the early 1950s after a trip to the Northern Territory.
