About the Exhibition
Aboriginal Art, created by Australia’s Indigenous peoples including Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, is one of the world’s oldest continuous art forms. It preserves Aboriginal identity, spiritual beliefs, and history, often focusing on Australia’s natural environment and human life. This art form, developed over thousands of years, is globally recognized, especially for techniques like dot painting. Modern Aboriginal Art continues to evolve, gaining international acclaim. In Korea, exhibitions were held at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in 2011, the Daejeon Museum of Art in 2017, and the Seoul Museum of Art in 2021. SH GALLERY is now showcasing a group exhibition featuring renowned artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye and her descendants Barbara Weir, Teresa Purla, and Charmaine Pwerle, who reinterpret traditional Aboriginal Art with a modern approach.
