25.01.2022 Biyala Bala Kaiela (Red Gum River) @kaielaarts Feature Artist: Laurel Robinson Two works from Robinson depicting aspects of the Murray River. The first, the artists says, is of 'the Berranga (platypus - also called duckling), a small amphibious Australian mammal noted for its odd combination of primitive features and special adaptations. They are common in the waterways of Eastern Australia they generally feed on bottom dwelling invertebrates, also occasional crayfish and ins...ects. This shy creature forages most actively from dusk to dawn sheltering during the day in burrows.' The second work, 'Bull rushes', 'is my memories of my childhood, of the Murray River, when the river (Dungala) used to run beautiful and clear, fish were plentiful as were the ducks and the black swans.' Laurel Briggs Robinson is a Yorta Yorta-Wurunjeri woman born at Mooroopna Victoria. She grew up in Shepparton where she attended school. Her career as an adult included working for the Aboriginal medical service in NSW for 40 years. She returned to Shepparton and later, joining Kaiela Arts, she realised that she could express her "hidden feelings" in art as well as the memories of her childhood. She says I do love working with the other elders and exchanging stories. I think it's important; we pass our stories onto the younger generations.

In what has become an annual event, we curate a selection of 48 stunning works by 38 Aboriginal artists from around Australia in the reduced palette of black & white in this feature exhibition, 'In Black & White'.

24.01.2022 Biyala Bala Kaiela (Red Gum River) @kaielaarts Feature Artist: Cynthia Hardie Hardie works in a wide variety of media including acrylics, wood, feathers, weaving and ceramics. These works feature hand-woven and knitted string, featuring witchetty grubs and a camp site made from wire. ... Cynthia Hardie was born and raised in Mooroopna and over the years has filled her home with her beautiful creations. Reluctant to part with anything, she says her home is almost full to the rafters. Her paintings adorn canvas, rocks, emu eggs, timber, papier-mache bowls, clap sticks boomerangs, anything she can get her hands on and often more than one thing at a time. Her love of art and craft began as a child and has continued throughout her life. Mostly self- taught, she enjoys teaching her granddaughters how to paint, sharing her art supplies and painting small canvases and boomerangs. In 2016 she was joint winner with Jack Anselmi of the Indigenous Ceramic Art Award for the installation piece, Midden. Her themes include stories and connection to place. Wildlife, totems including long-neck turtles, emu, kangaroo. Images: Cynthia Hardie, Dilly Bag - Witchetty Grub, 2020, string and wire.

23.01.2022 Biyala Bala Kaeila (Red Gum River) @kaielaarts Feature Artist: Jack Anselmi Yorta Yorta man Jack Anselmi was born in 1965 at Mooroopna, Victoria. A regular participating artist at Kaiela Arts, Jack enjoys sharing his knowledge with others and learning new skills. He is highly regarded for his striking animal carvings, sculptures and ceramics. Jack has received various commissions including from Melbourne University and Goulburn Valley Grammar School. In 2016, Jack Anselmi wo...rked with fellow artist Cynthia Hardie to create a large ceramic installation called 'Midden' for the Indigenous Ceramic Art Award at @sam_shepparton. 'Midden' was one of five shortlisted entries and won the 2016 Award for its innovative use of the medium of ceramic. A recurring theme in his ceramics is the long-neck turtle which is the Yorta Yorta totem. Jack breathes life into previously inanimate objects whether in wood or ceramic, his animals have an energy about them that is captivating. This highly skilled, finely-drawn pen and pencil work depicts the red gumnuts that Anselmi says: 'need a very hot fire to germinate for future regrowth.'

20.01.2022 Biyala Bala Kaiela (Red Gum River) is a research and art project initiated by the artists of Shepparton's Aboriginal art centre, Kaiela Arts. Join gallerist Susan McCulloch as she explores the fibre, sculpture and ceramic works in this exhibition. Kaiela (the Goulburn River ) which runs through Shepparton and Dungala (the Murray River) form the huge Riverland area at the top of Victoria and into NSW. This beautiful country which includes extensive floodplains, is home to the ...Yorta Yorta people and was once filled with a huge diversity of flora and fauna. Grasslands were rich in wildflowers, herbs, orchids and lilies; woodlands dotted with Grey Box and Buloke Wattles and floodplains supported forests of majestic River Red Gums, wattles and sedges. Due to the degrading of this fragile eco system by European agricultural practice over the last 250 years, much of this vegetation has now died out. Many of Kaiela Arts 90 artists have long had a commitment to researching the Indigenous ecology of their region with the resulting artworks the physical, cultural and artistic manifestation of this research. The works in this exhibition have been created by 12 Kaiela artists in response to an invitation by the Mornington Peninsula's Everywhen Artspace in mid 2019 to present an exhibition of the work of Kaeila artists at Everywhen in April 2020.

17.01.2022 Congratulations on your 50th @mprg_vic! Alan McCulloch would have been so proud. Posted @withregram @mprg_vic Back in 1970, Alan McCulloch, artist, author and art critic of the 'Herald' launched an extraordinary art exhibition at the Mornington Shire Council offices, showing important works by Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan, Andrew Sibley and Fred Williams, among others. Alan lobbied for a public gallery on the Mornington Peninsula and this vision was realised in 1971 with a sm...all Edwardian house in Vancouver Street, Mornington. Alan became the inaugural director of the Mornington Peninsula Arts Centre. In the mid-1980s he began fundraising efforts for a purpose-built arts centre - which became the current MPRG site, opened by Premier John Cain in 1990. Today we are pleased to unveil the Alan McCulloch Galleries, featuring focus displays from the MPRG Collection. We were pleased to have Susan McCulloch here, his daughter, and also a writer and curator, to celebrate the launch of these new exhibition spaces, in honour of her visionary father who acquired over 1000 works for the Collection. Read more about the Gallery's history in our upcoming collection publication, featuring an essay by Susan McCulloch, to be launched on 23 July on MPRGTV.

15.01.2022 Biyala Bala Kaeila (Red Gum River) @kaielaarts Feature Artist: Dylan Charles 'When I was younger going to the ochre mines was a really spiritual experience for me and also going to the sandhills where our law and initiation took place over time. I like to interpret from the stars because our Nan told us that the stars are our map and so I like to reference the night sky in my work, like the Emu in the sky. I like to imagine that I am looking from above - a bird's eye view.... I also like to mirror that view - the land and sky in the one view in my work, which represents the connection between the sky and the earth. Dylan Charles is a young artist who grew up in Shepparton, Victoria, and spent many years with family at Cummeragunja (Barmah). He recounts how he learnt to get Sardi Grubs with his grandfather who passed away when Dylan was four years old. He says, "I learnt the majority of my culture from my Uncle (Mum's brother) and he's still teaching me now. I spent a lot of time at the Charles/Walker bend of Dungala (second on the left hand side! ). Dylan uses ochre in his paintings because he says "it feels more connected to my traditions. It has a spiritual feel for me My Uncle Shane has always told me I am from the Dulunyagan bloodline to Ulupna. Our language group in Yorta Yorta and this language is classed as endangered due to colonisation and language and culture being forbidden". This painting represents elders collecting bush plums and ruby salt bush on country. The snake represents Biami, the Rainbow Serpent, the center landscape represents the medicine trees on Yorta Yorta country, where elders took medicine for healing spiritually and physically. The flowers represent the growth of the salt bush and berries, the white hands, sacredness, the diamond on the land of Yorta Yorta. The snake represents that a man painted it and the U shape is the elders on country collecting roots." Image: Dylan Charles, Salt Bush & Plum, Surrounding the Medicine Tree, 2020, acrylic on canvas, 97 x 103 cm.

06.01.2022 Divine new works from Ernabella Arts by artists Yurpiya Lionel, Imiyari (Yilpi) Adamson, Lynette Lewis & Yanyi Dunn. Established in 1948, Ernabella Arts is Australias oldest, continuously running Indigenous Art Centre. Ernabella Arts is in Pukatja Community, at the eastern end of the Musgrave Ranges in the far north west of South Australia. Pukatja was the first permanent settlement on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands (APY Lands). The Presbyterian Board of M...issions established the mission in 1937, and a craft room was established in 1948. The first craft products were hand-loomed woven fabrics and hand-pulled and knotted floor rugs with a unique pattern that became known as the Ernabella walka or anapalayaku walka (Ernabella's design). In recent years, long after commencing working as artists, senior women decided to leave behind the walka of the early days and to depict their Tjukurpa (sacred stories of country and law). Today its varied group of artists is a mix of young and old, men and women. The members of Ernabella Arts are always reinvigorating their centre, seeing it through its evolution from the first incarnation as a craft room, into a culturally strong contemporary art centre. Ernabella Arts is an Aboriginal owned and run corporation which promotes and supports ethical practice in the creation and sale of Indigenous art. #ErnabellaArts #painting #Aboriginalart #Pitjantjatjaraart #inthegallery @ Everywhen Artspace

02.01.2022 Biyala Bala Kaiela (Red Gum River) @kaielaarts: Feature artist Cynthia Hardie Cynthia Hardie was born and raised in Mooroopna and over the years has filled her home with her beautiful creations. Reluctant to part with anything, she says her home is almost full to the rafters Her paintings adorn canvas, rocks, emu eggs, timber, papier-mache bowls, clap sticks boomerangs, anything she can get her hands on and often more than one thing at a time. Her love of art and craft began ...as a child and has continued throughout her life. Mostly self- taught, she enjoys teaching her granddaughters how to paint, sharing her art supplies and painting small canvases and boomerangs. In 2016 she was joint winner with Jack Anselmi of the Indigenous Ceramic Art Award for the installation piece, Midden. Her themes include stories and connection to place. Wildlife, totems including long-neck turtles, emu, kangaroo. She works in a wide variety of media including acrylics. wood, feathers, weaving and ceramics. She says of these works: 'these are paintings of the bark which has 'many colours', the old man gum tree with long roots in the water; the colour of the bark reflected in the water when the sun sets, and of the milk thistle which helps ease the itch of bites and scratches.'
