Rising Stars 2015

Welcome to a new year at Outstation Gallery! We are forging ahead with our annual Rising Stars exhibition, showcasing the next generation of artists.

At eighteen years of age, the youthful Sharon Adamson is showing great promise with reference to the work of her great-grandfather Tiger Palpatja. In an interesting departure from landscape, Albert Namatjira’s great-grandson Vincent Namatjira, sources the Indulkana Tigers AFL team as subject matter for a series of portraits in a consciously naive style, depicting interesting tonal work and composition.  Vincent is one of fourteen finalists in the 2015 WA Indigenous Art Awards.

Anyupa Stevens, whose father is elder Keith Stevens, shares her stylistic vision and the loose, overlaid linework of tjala (honey ant) with the work of her grandmother the late Eileen Stevens. Daisy Japulija (winner of the 2014 Port Hedland Art Prize) paints her country around the Fitzroy River region.

Mimili Maku reveals the fine controlled hand and limited palette of Robert Fielding, while the work of Linda Puna is a celebration of loose form, bold colour and abstraction.
