This exhibition showcases a stellar array of Aboriginal artworks from the private collection of art enthusiast Robin Gurr. The works present a range of Aboriginal art practices from remote communities who, as custodians of their traditional land, use a variety of mediums to document their stories of tribe, clan, language and country. This exhibition, therefore, presents a wonderful opportunity to track a journey across traditional land regions and experience the exquisite diversity of Aboriginal stories. Artists include: Lily Karadada, Tjampawa Katie Kawiny, Rover Thomas, Susan Wanji Wanji and Donny Woolagoodia.

This exhibition celebrates the recent donation of artworks to the Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest’s Collection. The selection of beautifully crafted wood works by Sonia Farley showcases her sensitivity to natural form and reveals a close aesthetic affinity with the artistic practice of her uncle, Gerald Lewers. An inherent respect and appreciation of nature and the qualities of natural materials is revealed in her commitment to generating organic shapes and sculptural form that morph abstraction with functionality.
