The emergence of artists in Aboriginal communities has always aroused a certain reserve in the world of art. For many observers of the ancient nomadic bred myths, dreams according to agreed codes, in a kind of pedagogy of repetition.
We were away from these gaps brought about by contemporary Western artists. Then
appeared in Aboriginal art individualities. Batik with multiple productions of acrylic fabrics, suddenly found himself an artist in a position of inventor, adopting a unique style, unmistakable, subtle. This creative impulse took shape and opened the door for a breakthrough to a new artistic language, the beginnings of a new movement.
Some masters from 26 to 80 years, continue to teach their techniques today, the momentum generated by a new level of abstraction from complexity, or unlike a dazzling and daring spontaneity ... There is no age to become a mentor or coach younger trying out the brushes.
Occasionally it amuses me to hear it bluntly gallery specializing in a particular movement a bit "boring", sliding into boredom. Certainly, the paintings are masterful, compelling and delicately inventive, but often in a sense no surprise.
In innovation, as in art, breaking the confines of the Holy Grail. Artists and gallery owners seek it with a thirst inconsolable. This is the code, the key to another world, another creative dimension.
is probably what I like about where Aborigines finally concentrate so much talent and artists. Their ability to awaken this force of expression, elevating it to a trade, perhaps the only one that allows them easily, makes us wonder ... especially if we think of other peoples of Tassili Sahara artists of Lascaux cave or Cosquer ...
Have we forgotten our artistic potential? Bines these people or they had an elite shaman-artist? Difficult to determine. The percentage of an artist is so much more important in these early nomadic people, non-capitalist, free from greed, converted to another form of harmony and enlightenment ...
artist Sonia Kurarra already presented on the blog here , carries paintings more surprising. If she started painting in the 90's, his creations take a new direction for nearly two years. Today she lies on the canvas almost pure abstract forms of plants and animals in her area of marshland with a color palette quite unexpected. In the canvas
presented above, a background of green delicately nuanced here gives way to a tumultuous and composition of air and pearl white motif. In this approach petulant, giving a spontaneous chaos, stands a structure balanced, meaningful and probably attractive?
