Last chance to see “Purungumparri Ngaripikimi Puruntarinnga,” the fourth Woolloongabba Art Gallery group exhibition of Tiwi Design from Nguiu on Bathurst Island, Tiwi. The exhibition ends January 21, 2017.The relationship between these two institutions dates back to Tiwi Design's first Woolloongabba exhibition in 2010, Pupuni Jilamara or Good Body Painting and featured many of the artists currently showcased. The individual skill of each artist has the effect of accelerating the momentum of the art centre as a whole. Tiwi Design is rapidly gaining national and international attention for the quality of the culture and stories stemming from these two small and incredibly beautiful islands of Bathurst and Melville. To review these shared stories across the six years since that initial exhibition is to witness palpable development on a number of scales. Most apparent is the capacity of the artists themselves, many of whom have been immersed in their practice for decades now and whose culture and ideas have been applied with skilful expression to a diverse array of mediums including painting, carving and sculpture, textiles and wood block print.The exhibition is on view at Woolloongabba Art Gallery, 613 Stanley St, Woolloongabba Qld 4102.For details, visit: http://wag.com.au/calendar/2016/purungumparri-ngaripikimi-puruntarinnga/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the exhibition.
