ReDot Fine Art Gallery is proud to announce the 2nd Singaporean show of innovative works of the Martumili Artists.
Following on from last year’s first ever, sell out, international show we will be exhibiting the latest and most exciting works from one of the Western Desert’s newest and most refreshing Aboriginal art communities.
The works of Martumili Artists are grounded in strong cultural knowledge but its style is contemporary and modern, allowing these works to stand strong alongside any western comparison, drawing parallels with many established western artists. Sandhills and waterholes and areas around the Canning Stock Route are depicted in abstract, raw, colourful, sometimes naïve, sometimes intense, maps of land and country. They are some of the most innovative artworks being produced in Australia today, possessing strong cultural significance which has led to demand being high since the establishment of a gallery exhibition programme with most shows sold out quickly.
Martu artists now have their works placed in significant collections including the National Gallery of Victoria, The National Gallery of Australia, Artbank, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the National Museum of Australia as well as most private collections of Aboriginal art. The Adelaide Biennale will present a beautiful large collaborative work by the senior artists, many of which will be showing here in April, again their only international show in 2010.
New works from Milly Kelly, Bugai Whylouter, Nancy Chapman to name but a few will all be on show at our Keppel Road premises, along with many other amazing canvases.
The exhibit opens Friday, April 9th and runs until Wednesday. April 28th, 2010.
