MARTU ARTISTS

MAJOR MULTI-MEDIA EXHIBITION OF CONTEMPORARY ABORIGINAL ART OPENING IN LONDON

 

The first multi–media exhibition of Martu Artists in the UK featuring film, photographs, sound and paintings from the Great Sandy, Little Sandy and Gibson Deserts of Western Australia

Frewen Arts in association with Martumili Artists is pleased to announce the opening of a major Aboriginal Art exhibition in London, Three Deserts Singing, featuring the rich, colourful and emotive paintings of leading contemporary artists from the Martu community. 

 

Opening on 2nd November 2015, the multi-media show illustrates the practical and mysterious ways in which the Martu record the landscapes of their country, through oral histories and vibrant paintings that speak of a sophisticated geographical knowledge.
