‘Balgo’ is an acclaimed touring exhibition comprising paintings of contemporary indigenous Australian painters from the remote hills of Western Australia. Bold, bright and colourful, the paintings tell stories of the land - what indigenous Australians call 'country' - in ways that are modern, abstract, and quite exceptional.
Contemporary Indigenous Australian art is an exciting and vigorous expression of one of the world’s most ancient artistic traditions. Much of the work that draws from those traditions is imbued with spiritual or religious significance, representing a time or a place, a ceremony or a Dreaming.
