Unit is proud to present Tjukurrpa: The Dreaming, a landmark exhibition showcasing nine leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, opening in London, UK on Wednesday, July 9th.
The show spotlights the extraordinary work of Indigenous Australian artists, most notably Emily Kam Kngwarray (c.1910-1996), the celebrated Anmatyerr painter now recognised globally as one of the 20th century’s most influential artists.
In anticipation of Kngwarray’s upcoming retrospective at Tate Modern, Tjukurrpa: The Dreaming arrives in London as a unique opportunity to take a wider look at the sublime power of one of the world’s oldest continuous painting traditions.
Alongside Kngwarray, the exhibition features prominent figures from the East Kimberly Art Movement and Western Desert Movement, including Rover Thomas Joolama, Paddy Nyunkuny Bedford, Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrla, Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri, Makinti Napanangka, Tommy Watson and Patrick Olodoodi Tjungurrayi.
