Angelina Pwerle’s subtly shifting, abstract paintings come out of a history of Aboriginal art-making that is thousands of years old. Yet audiences of contemporary art will find reference points in the spatial complexity of Jackson Pollock, optical intensity of Bridget Riley, technical elegance of Vija Celmins or meditative process of Agnes Martin.
Using the fine point of a bamboo stick, Pwerle paints masses of minute, individual dots that float, cloud-like, on a colored ground, shifting and vibrating within an indeterminate spatial plane, to depict the Bush Plum Dreaming narrative.
