Sydney Contemporary
05 September 2024 – 08 September 2024
About Exhibition
D’Lan Contemporary is delighted to return to Sydney Contemporary for the 2024 edition of the Fair with a presentation that will include two specially commissioned works by Yulparitja / Mangala artist Daniel Walbidi and Wik-Mungkan / Wik-Alken artist Keith Wikmunea alongside an exceptional painting by the revered Anmatyerr artist Emily Kam Kngwarray and eight recently rediscovered works in gouache by celebrated Gija artist, Paddy Bedford.
The presentation will also feature a suite of ten works by Gija artist Butcher Cherel Janangoo, a significant group of paintings by celebrated Balgo artist, Boxer Milner Tjampitjin and a spectacular ‘wall of Wanjinas’: twenty-two small yet striking works on bark by the little-known Wunambal artists, Ignatia Djanghara, Waigan Djanghara, and an equally extraordinary unknown artist, Molly.
