From Bark To Neon: Indigenous Art from the NGV Collection

From Bark to Neon: Indigenous Art from the NGV Collection is a celebration of Indigenous art in Australia. The exhibition explores major artists who have been at the forefront in creating new forms of expression and in maintaining and regenerating customary cultural practices and iconography.

Great individual artists such as Emily Kam Kngwarray, Paddy Compass Namadbara, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Rover Thomas, Trevor Nickolls, Lin Onus, Sally Gabori, Brook Andrew and Destiny Deacon have shaped and transformed the face of Indigenous art in Australia and inspired many artists to follow their example.

This powerful exhibition introduces audiences to some of the most significant works by Indigenous artists in the NGV Collection and will explore watershed moments in the history of Australian art.
