Aboriginal artists use symbolism from their own individual "Dreaming" path, single and concentric circles, animal tracks and curved lines.
Rene Sundown paints her memories of the land near Erldunda in the Northern Territory, where she grew up. In fields of cream and gold, intersected with bold linear compositional marks, her paintings recall the subtle color shifts of the Ngura Tali, Sand Dune Country of her childhood.
Rene says “These are my thinking and painting memories. Memories of what I saw, sand dunes we played on. When I am painting, my feelings become strong and all my memories come back.”
Sundown is a senior artist and long-time director of the Iwantja Art Center in Indulkana, South Australia. She is committed to passing on knowledge to future generations.
The painting comes with a certificate by Iwantja Arts and Crafts, Alice Springs NT.
