The first exhibition in Singapore of exceptional young artists from the Kimberley in Australia, Lloyd Kwilla and Claude Carter. The works are painted with pure ochre and showcase not only the important artistic traditions of the Kimberley but the artists' own distinctive iconography and subtle crafting of natural pigments. Both Kwilla and Carter demonstrate prodigious talent as well as serious commitment to both maintaining the culture in which they were raised and proudly presenting that culture to others. They are two of the region’s most notable rising stars, who have held successful exhibitions over Australia, and Lloyd Kwilla in London. Jumuwarnti and Goonboorooru – Waterholes and Caves will be held in conjunction with a public education programme featuring talks by the artists, Susan McCulloch OAM and Kevin Kelly of Red Rock Art.

Tony Tuckso: Figures
at fortyfivedownstairs
Tuesday 28 July 2011 5-7 pm
dates: Tue 28 June to Sat 9 July 11
hours: Tue – Fri 11am to 6pm
Sat 11am to 5pm
admission: Free
To be opened by Susan McCulloch, OAM
The incredible distinction, even on an international assessment, of Tony Tuckson’s abstract work can promote the idea that his figurative paintings and abstract paintings are two distinct bodies of work. This is a misapprehension. Tuckson believed abstraction was the ultimate goal of contemporary painting and that it was necessary to undergo a rigorous apprenticeship to modern art to earn the right to paint in an ‘avant garde’ way. The paintings in this exhibition are all on pulpboard or cardboard. Part of that ‘rigorous apprenticeship’, they cover the seven years 1950 (he left art school in December 1949) to 1956 when, at last, he embraced – or was embraced by – abstraction.’ Geoffrey Legge, Director, Watters Gallery, Sydney.
Tony Tuckson is represented by Watters Gallery, Sydney.

EXPLORATION 11 June 28 – July 16
This year marks the 11th year of Flinders Lane Gallery’s annual exhibition showcasing emerging artists. This year continues the generous support of Pleysier Perkins Architects, who will be sponsoring the $5,000 Pleysier Perkins Acquisitive Art Prize. The prize is being judged by art collector Mr Arthur Roe, arts writer and publisher Ms Susan McCulloch OAM, and Pleysier Perkins Architects.
This annual exhibition supports unsigned artists and recent art school graduates, giving them commercial exposure while offering buyers the chance to purchase works by the promising artists of tomorrow. Exploration has launched the careers of many artists and helped them to achieve national exposure.
