Stories of Country, Carried Forward
Across the vast desert homelands of Tjuntjuntjara, stories of Country continue to inspire and shape contemporary painting.
Spinifex Artists – New Works celebrates Japingka Gallery's 24-year association with the Spinifex Arts Project, bringing together distinctive paintings by eight artists and a major Men's Collaborative canvas.
These works carry the knowledge, stories and cultural traditions of the Spinifex people—an enduring expression of connection to the Great Victoria Desert. From established artists to the next generation, each painting contributes to a continuing story of cultural resilience and creative expression.
The exhibition reflects the artists' commitment to sharing the knowledge and culture of Spinifex Country with the world. Their paintings speak of a living connection to Country, where ancestral knowledge and contemporary artistic practice meet.
Presented in association with the Spinifex Arts Project.
