Currawa Crossing Art Exhibition
Next date: Sunday, 04 June 2023 | 10:00 AM
to 02:00 PM
The Currawa Crossing exhibition will be on display at the Corowa Art Space from Monday 29 May until Sunday 9 July, 2023.
Federation Council is inviting residents and visitors to see the exhibition and experience the work of some of the region’s Aboriginal artists.
Currawa Crossing will showcase Contemporary Aboriginal artworks from Owen Lyons, Elijah Ingram and Sonia Undy. Their vibrant and expressive works combine a variety of Traditional and modern techniques spanning across weaving, dot painting and abstractionism.
Owen Lyons, a Wiradjuri artist from Narrandera (Narrungdera) uses his art to explore current and Traditional themes: “My art is representative of the connections to the beautiful the land on which I live and work, and the flora and fauna that thrive there. My art also tells of my personal journey which reflects the impacts of the mental health issues my son experiences. Painting has been a release for me in representing what I feel in response to the mental health journey our family is on. I love to depict artworks that include traditional Wiradjuri symbols and painting techniques, as well as contemporary imagery.”
Wiradjuri artist Elijah Ingram notes the changing perceptions surrounding First Nations’ art: “It’s a struggle within myself between making authentic Aboriginal Art and still having it be contemporary. You get a lot of people with a very closed mindset on what counts as Aboriginal Art, but because I am Aboriginal, I class anything I make as Aboriginal art no matter what concept sits behind the work.”
Entry to Currawa Crossing is free. Open Wednesday - Friday 10 am - 4 pm, Saturday & Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm.
This exhibition is supported by Western Riverina Arts.
