Gathered Together: paintings from Yuendumu: Group Show

1 - 25 February 2023 London

Overview

The Aboriginal art centre in Yuendumu is one of the longest established Aboriginal-owned art centres in Central Australia. The exhibition, Gathered Together: Paintings from Yuendumu, at the Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery, features recent work by artists from Yuendumu.

It is over thirty years since the Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery first exhibited paintings from Yuendumu. The exhibition will celebrate this longstanding connection; many of the artists participating in the exhibition are the grandchildren of those featured in the original show.

Located almost two hundred miles north west of Alice Springs, Yuendumu is a significant centre for artists of the Warlpiri language group. Yuendumu art is characterised by its flamboyant enjoyment of colour, and its bold, organic, sense of design. That strength and distinction have been sustained over the ensuring decades.
