Harvey Art Projects USA is proud to bring this stunning new exhibit of paintings on bark, hollow-log and board from Australia's celebrated art center Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Artists. Located on the north coast of Australia, this remote region is home of the Yolngu, the indigenous custodians of the land and its stories. The rich cultural and artistic traditions of the Yolngu began as long as 40,000 years ago and their beautiful artworks carry forward important kinship relationships and sacred stories of creation. Yolngu artists work with natural materials that proliferate in their homeland like the stringybark eucalyptus, which forests and hugs rocky outcroppings where freshwater and saltwater converge. The ochers that are embedded in the rocks and soil are the pigments that lend their colors to the artist palette. Maintained by almost continuous ceremonial activity, the land provides all the traditional elements for an artist studio - pigments, bark and hollow logs.
