Tiwi Birds from Ngaruwanajirri Inc
JUST FLOWN IN! We have just received a new shipment of Bird carvings from Ngaruwanajirri Inc. on the Tiwi Islands Ironwood painted with natural ochres
This exhibition pays tribute to our seasonal obsession with football, both AFL and NRL, as well as the impending Spring Carnival which culminates at Flemington with the Melbourne Cup. The Grand Final and the Melbourne Cup are unusual for providing Melburnians with a public holiday for each.
Featured in the exhibition are paintings and drawings by the late Clifford Bayliss, whose genius was recognised by the eminent art historian, Bernard Smith. Bayliss was an important early modernist who won the National Gallery Travelling Scholarship in 1935 and left Australia to further his career in London where he spent the rest of his life. Bayliss had a lifelong fascination with horses and growing up near Moonee Valley and Flemington, he spent much time drawing the horses. These culminated is his Australian Horse and Rider Series, completed in the 1970s.
The title of this exhibition is inspired by the famous novel, A Sport and a Pastime, by distinguished American novelist, James Salter.

Some of the hidden treasures often overlooked in my gallery
Kylie Elkington
Curious Natives draws attention to the minutiae of life, in this case, indigenous wildflowers, sometimes so tiny they can be easily overlooked.
I’m interested in creating a ‘personal geography’ of landscape painting, a slow contemplation of place and an invitation to meditate on beauty, nature and the Australian landscape

Paintings from Fitzroy Crossing
Northern Editions was founded in 1993 as Northern Territory University Print Workshop and renamed Northern Editions in 1997. They are situated on the grounds of Charles Darwin University in Darwin and have been collaborating with individual artists and aboriginal art centres to produce and exhibit etchings, woodblocks, screenprints, lithographs and linocuts for the last 19 years. Since its inception, the studio has worked with more than 200 artists, the majority from remote indigenous communities from the east Kimberley region of Western Australia throughout the Northern Territory to north west Queensland.
Kylie Elkington's latest exhibition includes paintings from a recent residency at Bundanon. Elkington's appreciation of the understated drama of this landscape has fed directly into her current body of work where her love for depicting isolated regions of Australia is very much in evidence.
The patient and rhythmic shift of the mood and colour of these locations finds its equivalence in carefully composed paintings on ply, handpicked to utilize the grain, achieving gentle undulations and natural warmth, and on linen where the brushwork shares an affinity with the foliage with a more dramatic effect of colour and texture.

Fitzroy Crossing is on the Great Northern Highway on the banks of the mighty Fitzroy River, about 400 km south east of Broome. The artists come from the Great Sandy Desert where waterholes are the most significant feature of the landscape. The waterhole not only meant survival, it is where the important rituals traditionally took place. These sacred locations are a feature of many of the works in this exhibition.

Paintings bought directly from the artists by London dealer, John Barkes.
The artists are professional painters and members of a Union of Artists. Many are represented in Russian museums and, since the Gorbachev reforms of the 1980s, their paintings are increasingly seen in galleries in the U.K., Europe, America and, most recently, China.
Among them are many artists who trained and taught at St Petersburg's prestigious Repin Academy, a school which produces graduates renowned for the depth of their draftsmanship and brilliant attention to detail and colour. Russian art has well and truly jumped the Iron Curtain and provides a vigorous secondary market for collectors.

Her rural roots exposed, Dunkeld artist Judy Warne uses the humble rabbit as a vehicle to express her passion for human justice, which has been the driving force behind her work for over 20 years.
