Mitchell Fine Art presents Contours, an exhibition of Aboriginal paintings that explore the intersection of landscape, culture, and spirituality. Running from 23 September to 18 October, the exhibition brings together works by some of the Central Desert’s most celebrated artists.
Contours illuminates the deep connections between Aboriginal people and their homelands—a lived land that breathes with memory, ceremony, and identity. Moving beyond Western notions of geography, the works trace the emotional, cultural, and spiritual contours of place, as well as the unseen pathways of ancestral journeys and traditional knowledge systems.
The exhibition showcases significant works by Eileen Napaltjarri, George Hairbrush Tjungurrayi, George Ward Tjungurrayi, Kudditji Kngwarreye, Makinti Napanangka, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, Walangkura Napanangka, and Willy Tjungurrayi. At its core, Contours challenges colonial cartographies and asserts Indigenous ways of seeing, understanding, and interpreting the land.
