Have you ever watched from atop a sand dune, the landscape in the distance, his eyes riveted to the ground level? This operation a bit dangerous in times of wind, offers a glimpse of the strange environment. A loss of sight, line of sight on a flat, alternating shades, add, overlap and align with the perspective of the vanishing point.

Some aboriginal painters like Ronnie Tjampitjinpa already presented here on the blog, use these tricks to build elaborate forms in their paintings. They cleverly place their head in corner of the frame and observe the fate of their creation, the movements will spur ...

prove famous aboriginal artists in the reading and interpretation of landscapes. The forms are refined, the relief wears off on a single contour. A dune on the edge of spinifex bushes, a salt lake, bodies of water as the birthplace of Jack Weaver, come down to the simple alternation of rows of a different color.

The canvas tells a territory, a journey ancestral a renewed understanding of desert hues. The set reveals the daring of this great colorist and Aboriginal women law respected, whose compositions also inspire the young talent Daniel Walbidi.

My meeting with Aboriginal art was the fruit chance. Missed an appointment in Amsterdam turns into a tour of the city of Utrecht and its beautiful Museum of Aamu . Since this discovery in 2004, the creative power of artists, their capacity for innovation, the emergence of new talent feeding my eye and a passion.

few weeks ago I was contacted by the Art Gallery of Western Australia for the loan of a canvas of the painter Sonia Kurarra. She is among 16 artists selected for the third
Western Australian Indigenous Art Awards exhibition which will be held July 31 to January 3, 2011.
Crisis forces, transport is a bit complicated, the web will eventually in Europe and avoid thus increasing its load of CO2. The round trip between Australia and Europe have few boundaries and so many treasures are definitely available in Australia for the exhibition.

At nearly 60 years, painting for quite some time, Sonia Kurarra is increasingly sought after by curators in Australia. There is a rising figure of Mangkaja Fitzroy. Like in his works
side "compulsive and expressionist" said Katie McGuire, coordinator of the art center. I still characterized by these keys deconstructed, almost atomized. They gradually take possession of the painting and have constructed an elaborate structure, almost magnetic.

This painting will complement the work in the above link and it presented on the blog a few months earlier ...

Turbo Thunderbird For Sale

A giant hourglass coffin for humans dust

This trunk hollowed eucalyptus fathom the living world from a height of two meters. Yesterday slender tree and proud, nourished by a generous sap, it was gradually eroded by termites in his heart.

What was full and dense sold place in a vacuum in a tiny battle behind the invisibility of the surface.

In Aboriginal tradition, these trunks are coveted. Some will become musical instruments, offering subtle resonances with the space. The famous didgeridoos.
Others like here * Lorrkkons become a sort of open coffin. The bones of the dead, crushed and mixed with ocher sacred will be welcomed in this sword planted in the ground.

The tree had derived its energy from the earth forces. The insect has stopped the process. Then the missing man, whose name is silent phase of mourning will rehabitation space vacant.

Her red substance dissolves gradually into a sort of giant hourglass. The elements are combined. The man returns to dust the floor while the trunk continues its gradual degradation.
Then the deceased find his name in the collective memory, once the process is completed.

The symbolism is powerful and magnified by the work of abstract ritual or hatching rarrk already mentioned on the blog, here or there .
