Artmaking is a way of expressing place, culture, land
and identity – and for all of the artists in Fregon this
Artmaking practice continues today – constantly
mapping their stories and expressing the nuance that is
central to each individual’s story.
The selected works in this exhibition were painted
during the course of 2024 and are intended to offer an
intimate insight into each artist’s vibrant and diverse
artistic expression – as they continue to reaffirm their
connection to and love of country.
It is hoped that the works also evoke a glimpse of the
country so familiar to the artists and their families –
and respectfully acknowledging their Culture – the
journey, and the dreaming that continues to be shared
through their paintings and stories.
Each generation of painter adds something new and
exciting to the traditions set before them – we hope
this show of recent works highlights this and speaks to
our continued desire to share our Tjukurpa.
This exhibition is presented at the APY Gallery Naarm/Melbourne, which is part of the APY Art Centre Collective. The diversity and range that is depicted across these works speaks to the ongoing development of APY artists and their desire to explore their artistic practice, as well as the artists’ enduring connection to their Country and culture.
We invite you to immerse yourself in the stories, colours, and spirit of the APY Lands, and to celebrate the enduring legacy of Indigenous art and Culture.
