from £850.00
Frame:

This striking artwork presents a vibrant landscape that pays homage to the renowned Aboriginal artist Albert Namatjira, known for his unique portrayal of the Australian outback. The piece features a rich undercoat inspired by the Black, Red, and Yellow of the Aboriginal flag, creating a compelling contrast with the traditional European style of Namatjira's landscapes. In the foreground, a migrant boat, typically associated with Asian communities, now carries Caucasian businessmen, a red-haired woman, and Captain Cook, prompting a thought-provoking question: "Shall we let them in, Albert?" The figure of Albert observes this scene, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of migration and cultural diversity. This artwork not only enriches any space but also sparks conversation about identity and belonging, making it a meaningful addition to any collection.

SpiritGlow acknowledges all the peoples of Australia, the traditional owners of the land and waters and offer our respect to their Elders both past and present.
