As Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi’s art lights up the sails of the Sydney Opera House for Vivid 2016, Kate Owen Gallery will host a family group show; celebrating the three generations who have made a significant impact on the Indigenous art movement, including a new body of work by Gabriella Possum.
The eldest daughter of one of the most famous Australian artists, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Gabriella began painting at an early age. Through talking, singing and drawing in the sand in the middle of Australia’s Western Desert, the stories of her ancestors influenced Gabriella’s creative process, developing her distinctive bold colour choices and exciting compositions.
Artists include: Clifford Possum, Lionel Possum, Gabriella Possum, Michelle Possum, Nyrulla Possum and Khatija Possum.
