CURRENT EXHIBTIONS

‘YIRRKALA PRINT SPACE’
ARTISTS OF YIRRKALA PRINT SPACE
——
Would you believe that the most prolific print studio in the Northern Territory is not in one of the major population centres–Darwin, Katherine or Alice Springs? Would you believe that for twenty seven years Yirrkala Print Space has been run by Yolŋu (Indigenous) printmakers? We welcome you to share in this little known fact and enjoy the fruits of the Yirrkala Print Space from their tiny village on the shores of the Arafura Sea in North East Arnhem land.
——
Yirrkala Print Space is one of Australia’s premier print studios specialising in limited edition works on paper produced on its own press. The intricacies of each new technique – from Japanese woodblocks, etchings, linocuts, screenprints and collographs – has been learnt, absorbed and applied by the artists and printmakers together. The artists who produce work at Yirrkala Print Space have established a worldwide reputation for excellence, having won many of Australia’s major Indigenous art prizes. Many of the artists who have worked in the studio are women who have been leaders in innovation and change, including senior women of the Yunupingu family.
——
Exhibited alongside the curation of prints from Yirrkala Print Space are a selection of Ḻarrakitj from some of Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Art Centre’s renowned artists.

Check out this beautiful and diverse exhibition by Djirrirra Yukuwa Wunungmurra now showing @michaelreid.artbar in Sydney.

Djirrirra is one of the hardest working artists and is always thinking of innovative new ways to share her personal and clan identities with contemporary interpretations of the designs both sacred and naturalistic or by mixing a pastel colour palette from natural ochres or spending hours carving into the barks surface to create a textured surface. It’s a show not to be missed.
The exhibition runs through to the 18th of December.

DM us for a link to the catalogue or contact the gallery directly @michaelreid.artbar @michaelreidsydney
