Dinni Kunoth Kemarre and Josie Kunoth Petyarre are Anmatyerre artists from the eastern desert region of Utopia. Since 2005, Josie and her husband Dinni have worked, both individually and collaboratively, on sculptures and paintings that focus on elements of the world around them. These include natural features such as birds and animals, along with more recent incursions into their environment, including football players, rodeo riders, furniture and automobiles. In 2008, they were the only Indigenous artists selected for the inaugural Basil Sellers Art Prize at the Ian Potter Museum of Art at the University of Melbourne and the only artists to be selected in all three of Australia’s major Indigenous art awards. Their works have been acquired by Artbank, the National Museum of Australia, the Berndt Museum of Anthropology and the Kerry Stokes Collection.

Graham Kuo : Reflected

Graham Kuo is an abstract painter born in China in 1948. He came to Australia in 1963 and lives and works in Sydney. He lectured in painting and printmaking from 1976 to 2004 when he retired from the College of Fine Arts, UNSW. Kuo's canvasses are awash with brilliant colour and sinuous gestural marks articulate the surface. Calligraphic brush marks are suspended within an ambiguous space, contrasting with areas of vivid colour. Space is critical to this work with colours floating effortlessly on the surface of the canvas. Kuo's mark-making is instinctive and intuitive while retaining the consciousness of both eastern and western traditions. His work is held in all major public collections throughout Australia and international collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
