Jamu's Tjukurpa : Grandfather's Story: Janie Kulyuru Lewis
Forthcoming exhibition
Short St Gallery presents Jamu's Tjukurpa (Grandfather's Story) by Janie Kulyuru Lewis. Janie is a highly talented and respected Australian contemporary artist known for her stunning paintings that depict stories of her country and ancestors. Janie primarily retells the creation story of her grandfather's country in Watarru, South Australia, and the path the Minyima Tjuta (many women) took as they travelled across country. Janie hails from Amata, a community in the APY Lands and her work not only brings recognition to herself but also honours the traditions and history of her people.
Janie Kulyuru Lewis sets herself apart with her delicate mark making combined with her unique tonal shifts, which shimmer like the desert heat, on her large-scale canvases. Her mesmerising paintings have carved out a significant place in contemporary Australian art, and she has received high praise and recognition for her intricate and beautiful artwork. In Jamu's Tjukurpa, Janie showcases her immense artistic talent and her deep connection to her cultural heritage with her shimmering and spectacular large scale paintings. Short St Gallery invites you to join us to view this magnificent exhibition.
