DIFFERENT S O R TA COLOUR SPINIFEX HILL STUDIO
Five styles. Five perspectives. Five unique artists from the Pilbara and Kimberley, placing their distinctive marks on canvas, articulating relationships with family, land, and culture. That’s how this exhibition, Different Sorta Colour, comes by its name. We are privileged to see, through the eyes of Mulyatingki Marney, Doreen Chapman, Nyangulya Katie Nalgood, Gloria, and Maggie Green—artists who paint out of the Spinifex Hill Studio in Western Australia’s South Hedland— the vivid dimensions of a contemporary experience, informed by a deep knowing of country.
