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.
