The Tennant Creek Men’s art program started in 2016 as an Art therapy/outreach program set up by Anyinginyi Aboriginal Health Organisation. This body of work that represents the enthusiasm and dedication of the men’s painting group as they continue to develop a cathartic visual language fuelled by the complexities of life in Tennant.
Simon is from the Kaytetye language group. He developed an interest in art at the age of 14 whilst still at School. Simon has at once an introspective and serious engagement with aesthetics and a detachment that allows him to pursue action for its own sake. His work is performative whether bold meditative. His art is pretty explorative and raw he is finding his own language in the Brio. He enjoys experimenting with different materials such as found objects and pours and the coincidences.
