We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the Country we work on today. We recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters, and thank them for protecting this coastline and its ecosystems since time immemorial. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all First Nations people present today.
At Aboriginal Contemporary our collection is truly diverse: from the strident ochres of the Kimberley to untamed abstracts from the Western Desert: from emerging artists to some of Aboriginal art’s biggest names, who have featured in major exhibitions at national galleries.
Every painting has been hand picked by owner Nichola Dare who travels to art centres in remote Aboriginal communities to source the very best work.
Thank you for visiting Aboriginal Contemporary. We hope you love these beautiful and inspiring paintings as much as we do.
Works by East Kimberley artists Kathy and Tracey Ramsay
and their daughters Jaiden Wilson and Monica Cann
It’s not often a gallery gets to curate beautiful exhibitions from three generations of the same family. Which makes ‘Ngalangangboom'
(Mother and Child) a very special show for Aboriginal Contemporary in very special ways.
Not long after we opened, we partnered with East Kimberley
art centre Warmun Arts to present works by the legendary Rammey Ramsey (now sadly passed). More recently, we introduced his uniquely talented daughters, Kathy and Tracey Ramsay, to Sydney art lovers; we have hosted sell-out exhibitions with the sisters; and I have had the privilege of travelling to
Warmun to visit the artists on several occasions.
Now Kathy and Tracey are coming to Sydney once more, not just with new works of their own, but with two of the most gifted emerging artists
in the western desert: their daughters, Jaiden Wilson and Monica Cann.
Beyond an opportunity to reflect on a remarkable family legacy, 'Ngalangangboom' is a chance to witness first-hand how stories of the Bow River region, tens of thousands of years old, are both honoured and refreshed as a new generation becomes their custodians.
