Sculpture, Painting & Fibre Arts from Elcho Island Arts
Opening Friday 26 March 5.30pm
Using traditional bush materials and natural earth pigments, the artists of Elcho Island in Northeast Arnhem land maintain strong links to clan totems through their artwork, and pride themselves on their originality of design. Elcho Island artists produce such diverse artworks as bark paintings; hand carved and painted hollow logs, ceremonial poles, paintings and sculpture. Chapman Gallery is pleased to present the first Canberra exhibition of Elcho Island Artists.
