Art Gallery Excursion 13 May 2014

The Art gallery has a lot of kids of artworks but on that day we just focus on Aboriginal art. In the meantime, I have learned about tradition styles and contemporary styles by art gallery guide who has explained. The traditional painting commonly use earth colour and subject about the Dreaming, while the contemporary painting usually use acrylic paint and symbolic. The following below is some examples of Aboriginal Art.

Art name: Djaykung (File snakes) c1960

This art established by Mithinari Gurruwiwi. This work shows waterlily-covered billabongs that are home to plump file snakes, valued food sources that are just part of the riches to be found in Galpu country. This work also shows about the Dreaming and Ancestors of Aboriginal people.

Art name: Native on the Ouse River, Van Diemen’s Land 1838

This art established by John Glover in 1831 at Tasmania. He is a highly successful watercolourist and painter in the tradition of the Frence landscapist Claude Lorrian, Glover quickly adapted his picturesque style and luminous technique to his new surrounds.  The painting stands in marked contrast to the actual situation of the traditional owners of Ouse River country – the Braylwunyer people of the Big River Tribe – which was one of dispossession and violence at the hands of the colonists. This art shows the landscape, trees, river and mountain that Indigenous people belong to. This art also shows about the Aboriginal lifestyle such as hunting and cooking food as well as relationship of their living with the land in community.

Art name: Dark Valley, Van Diemen’s Land 2008

This art established by Julie Grough in 2008 at Tasmania. She is a Tasmanian Aboriginal visual artist and a curator of Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Victoria. This work forms a statement about such relationships, and the materials are gathered from Tasmanian places. These materials are Tasmanian Fingal Valley coal, nylon, Northern Midlands Tasmania dropped antlers, Tasmanian oak. This art also represent a coal necklace, history of coal mining in Tasmania and this work is symbolic of the Tasmanian landscape.

There is my album pictures at Art Gallery.
