Showing throughout September at Lauraine Diggins Fine Art, a selection of paintings by artist from Utopia including Emily Kam Kngwarreye; Gloria Petyarr; Nancy Petyarr; Kathleen Petyerre; Angelina Ngal; Kathleen Ngal; Poly Ngal; Greenie Purvis Petyarr, Cowboy Loy Pwerl; Elizabeth Kunoth Kngwarray; Genevieve Kemarr Loy. With the global interest in Emily Kngwarreye including an exhibition at Tate Modern, it is timely to celebrate leading artists from Utopia and their elegant artworks. Characterised by a harmonious balance of colour, a beautiful sense of movement and intricate mark making across the canvas, many of these paintings exhibited are on a grand scale, suggestive of the vast country some 350kms north east of Alice Springs that is depicted. These are representations of Country; of ceremony; of cultural relevance touching on initiation, food, flora, fauna and each artist’s relationship with Country.
