Sculpture Bolkkime – Sculpture Today : New Works from Maningrida Arts and Culture

Central Arnhem artists have been at the forefront of the Contemporary Art movement, engaging Australian and international audiences with their painting and sculpture, which masterfully straddles innovative individual practice, long-standing cultural knowledge systems and social relations of creative production.

Sculpture Bolkkime – Sculpture Today: New Works from Maningrida Arts and Culture debuts this month in the United States with works by leading Kuninjku and Kunibidji sculptors, Owen Yalandja (Kuninjku), Sonia Namarnyilk (Kunibidji), Samson Bonson (Gurr-goni/Kuninjku) and Don Djorlom (Kuninjku), who specialize in contemporary representation of cultural spirit beings.

Based in Sun Valley Idaho, Harvey Art Projects USA is a leading art gallery representing Australia’s finest contemporary Indigenous artists and their Indigenous communities. The organization is dedicated to developing ongoing cultural awareness, understanding and appreciation of Australian Aboriginal Art in America through regular exhibitions and satellite events.
