FORM Building a State of Creativity presents REPRESENT - Aboriginal Figurative Practice in Western Australia (Part 2), the follow-up show in an exciting two-part exhibition series shown at FORM Gallery.
Co-developed with respected Whadjuk Noongar artist and elder Sharyn Egan, the REPRESENT series provides a survey of figurative practice by Western Australian Aboriginal artists. Part 1 celebrated the senior artists and landmark movements within Western Australian Aboriginal representational art-making, and included works by iconic senior artists from the past four decades. This second iteration of the project highlights the contemporary generation of emerging art stars interpreting figurative practice today.
