“Ŋätiliŋu miny’tji dhunupami. The old style paintings were clear. Yirritja and Dhuwa. They went ‘one way’. But these things that I do are ŋarraku style- my style. Djuḻuḻ’yun – a new style with things that are hidden. I am doing it in another way- different from other Yolŋu. Some things are hiding some others are showing. That way Balanda can see that style and push me for that work and encourage me to keep going with that style. Only Yolŋu can see the power in the country. What is it’s identity, it’s dance, it’s song, it’s parliament.”
- Wurrandan Marawili, May 2024
SALON Art Projects and Outstation Gallery, in association with Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka are proud to present a solo exhibition by Wurrandan Marawili.
Looking into Wurrandan’s art is like looking into rippling water. The brilliant etched surface on his discarded road signs and the intricate cross hatch of his work in natural ochres on bark and wood mask hidden layers. Initally discovered through instagram, Wurrandan is now a major artist.
The full exhibition can be viewed on the Outstation Gallery website
