Intricately hand-painted artwork by esteemed aboriginal artist, Genevieve Loy Kamara.
Genevieve uses a type of pointillism synonymous with aboriginal desert art to show the tracks of her dreaming totem, the bush turkey, as it builds its nest. Her tiny colorful dots create rhythm and movement across the canvas in her inimitable and award-winning style. This painting has light pink, orange and soft yellow dots on a bright pink background.
Genevieve Loy Kamara is an artist from the Utopia region, Northern Territory. She is the granddaughter of artist Nancy Petyarr and has learnt painting from her father, Cowboy Loy Pwerl. Genevieve paints her father’s country and the story of the Bush Turkey, for which he is senior custodian. Her paintings depict the tracks the bush turkey makes as it searches for seeds and other tucker and makes its way to the waterhole. On a more complex cultural level, her work is about women’s ceremonies of the Anmatyerr people and are a significant depiction of the relationship between Genevieve and her country in Central Australia.
Genevieve’s paintings are characterized by a beautiful and careful handling of paint, a harmonious sense of color and great control of the delicate spidery marks that make their way across her canvas. Her work shows a mature grasp of color, design, and resolved aesthetic direction.
