[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you are new to Sydney and haven’t been to the Hazelhurst Gallery in Gymea, or just love Aboriginal art, then this exhibition is a MUST.
This is the first major survey exhibition from the seven art centres of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunyjatjara (APY) Lands, located in remote South Australia. It features 50 works by 50 artists, including paintings by the five Ken sisters, the winners of this year’s Wynne prize.
Belinda Hanrahan, Director of the Hazelhurst Regional Art Gallery and Arts Centre said “This is the most significant and most ambitious project for a regional gallery to do. It’s a huge undertaking and we know it will bring people from not just Sydney but from regional areas of New South Wales and beyond as it is such a rare opportunity to see this spectacular work from seven major Indigenous art centres in remote central Australia. The works will be in our exhibition space as well as installations in other parts of the gallery and our expansive gardens.”
Paintings from the APY Lands region are celebrated for the artists’ strong use of colour and dynamic movement and for their specific way of transforming their stories. The highlights of the exhibition will be two 3 x 5 metre collaborative paintings featuring artists from each of the seven art centres – the first time that artists from across the APY Lands have worked together on a single painting.
Please join us for a private guided tour of this amazing exhibition – A MUST for lovers of Indigenous Art!
