Artwork Title: Yulara Rocks
Artist: Sophie Johnson
Artist Statement:
This artwork is a remake of a photo that I took of the windswept sandstone monuments last year, when my family and I travelled to Yulara. I have noticed that most watercolour landscapes are of a very traditional style, such as Albert Namitajira’s paintings. I wanted to put a spin on this traditional style while still accurately representing the bold and vibrant colour of central Australia and therefore chose to use a cubist aesthetic. My artwork was inspired and influenced by my mother’s own unique painting style and connection to the Kimberly landscape. Her use of vibrant colours created an affect that I employed to make my painting pop, and look more modern.
