January Billycan born in the 30s on his homeland of Ilyarra, before leaving in the 70s because of the drought. Like all members of the community of the Great Sandy Desert old, abandoned, they settled on the coast near Broome Bidyadanga. Female

highly respected doctor, she began painting in 2003 in the same spirit also carried by the young artist Daniel Walbidi.
His painting is still quite secretive and expresses a combination of body and earth. It refers to the landscapes of his region and represents them on the canvas to teach this card memorial to the youngest.

As we mentioned humorously with a specialist in Aboriginal art in Sydney this week, we could be here in a "paint-level 2". This strange formula intended to emphasize the distance with the more conventional paintings and expected this artistic movement. The absence of pointillism characteristic probably more accessible, gives way inventive approach to a meaningful chairs where an explosion of colors with swaying rhythms, most often fringed with pearly white lines.

For my part, I remain impressed by the freedom of his gesture, the insurance features bold colors with pigments and subtly nuanced. Do we need the courage to shake up the conventions and, with maturity and affirming its artistic individuality.
