IMAGE – ARTISTS IMITJALA CURLEY AND DAUGHTER MADELIENE CURLEY AT THE KALTJITI STUDIO

WE ARE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME OUR KALTJITI FRIENDS BACK TO THE GALLERY WITH THEIR ANNUAL GROUP SHOW PRESENTATION  TITLED ‘CONTINUING OUR STORY’. YAAMA GANU HAS A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE APY STUDIO, WITH FRIENDS OF THE GALLERY DRAWN TO THE ARTIST’S STORIES OF COUNTRY, BRILLIANT COLOUR AND LARGE SCALE CANVAS.

‘Artmaking is a way of expressing place, culture, land and identity –  for the Fregon Artists this artmaking practice continues today – constantly mapping their stories and expressing the nuance that is central ‘to each individual’s story.

The selected works in this exhibition were painted during the course of 2024/25 and are intended to offer an intimate insight into each artist’s vibrant and diverse artistic expression – as they continue to reaffirm their connection to and love of country. It is hoped that the works also evoke a glimpse of the country so familiar to the artists and their families – and respectfully acknowledging their Culture – the journey, and the dreaming that continues to be shared through their paintings and stories.

Each generation of painter adds something new and exciting to the traditions set before them – we hope this show of recent works highlights this and speaks to our continued desire to share our Tjukurpa.’
