ABoUT ME

Aboriginal art is in my heart and blood, literally and metaphorically. The art is so diverse. I love finding out what kind of work lights up my client and take pride in the process of matching paintings to people. I want people to love what they collect.

RECENTLY SOLD MASTERWORK BY THE LATE JARINYANU DAVID DOWNS... . Untitled (Dancing Kurtal), 1988 Natural earth pigments and synthetic polymer paint on linen 137 x 213.5cm . Jila Kurtal is an important rainmaking centre in the eastern region of the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia. Jarinyanu and his brothers learnt to perform the ceremony to make rain at the jila (permanent waterhole) before they came north to station country. . The ceremony was tightly choreographed, governed by the relationships between all of those who were in attendance. The organisation was arranged around moieties that are represented by two birds, wiyurr and kitirr. The two birds are known as rain-birds who brought the rain from different directions: wiyurr from the northwest and kitirr from the northeast. The contrast in the style of the painting on the bodies of the dancers indicates this division with wiyurr on the left and kitirr on the right. . Along with the reference to the rain-bringing birds on the bodies of the men, Jarinyanu has placed kurtukurtu, the long clouds that come in at the beginning of the wet season, in bands at the top and the base of the work. As well as this, the long object that the men are holding above their heads is also kurtukurtu. The symbolic object punctuates the composition in much the same way as kurtukurtu as cloud, cuts across the wet season sky. . ✏️ (c) Greer Adams, 2018
