Aboriginal art exhibition in Utrecht: Breaking with Tradition. Cobra and Aboriginal art I lost count of the exhibitions of Aboriginal art that flourished in Europe from north to south.
In my opinion, most of them lack direction, scattered, affecting a bit of everything without completely convinced. Thus this art fascinates some, polls, seduces or simply left puzzled others.

Commissioners add up the works in their exhibitions and struggling to find a common thread. Weddings aesthetic colors? Geographical approach to Aboriginal communities? Time series unintelligible? Often they show this art in a somewhat disjointed and chaotic.
Other curators include their exposure to another level of consciousness and enlighten their work with a special brightness: they establish an artistic dialogue quite innovative and nutritious.
The last exhibition of Aboriginal Art Museum Utrecht doubtless satisfies these new criteria: Breaking with Tradition. Cobra and Aboriginal art, November 11, 2010 to May 8, 2011.

the Cobra movement and Aboriginal art It seems
very convincing that the search for forms "archetypal" in the Cobra movement in search of meaning, finds a particular resonance in Aboriginal art. These men
nomads, artists, do not they draw thousands of years the same forms, the same reasons, to communicate, educate, to convey a basic truth buried?
the purge shapes, but also aesthetic memorial allowed to retain only the essential mark, bringing the message across the generations. It touches on something strong, with significant footprint.

It however, is often surprising to see the power of certain forms aborigines in our imagination, even in our own culture, as if these signs had always meant something, as if the grammar of the original peoples constituted a sort of common matrix. Different

In the same spirit as the Cobra movement, Aboriginal artists are looking for the ultimate form, free of slag somewhat agreed, figurative or optionally Pointillist.
For some it is almost more than the thick, deep, free tools, just accentuated by the touch of the hand gestures as in the artist Wakartu Cory Surprise.
Julien: few days after my return from the island, we decided - with Deborah, David, Matt and Katie (2 Belgian friends, my fellow New Zealander and his girlfriend) - to get to Pengu in Island, located in Rockingham, a town about fifty kilometers south of Perth.
