Wet Season: The Lockhart River Art Gang

This powerful group exhibition pays tribute to the Lockhart River Art Gang, a collective that has reshaped contemporary Indigenous art in Australia. In honour of founding member Silas Hobson, who recently passed away, we celebrate his legacy alongside the remarkable work of his peers – Rosella Namok, Fiona Omeenyo, Samantha Hobson, and Irene Namok. Their artworks blend tradition with modern innovation, exploring the cultural richness of Sandbeach Country and the environment of Far North Queensland. From Fiona’s symbolic Quinken figures to Samantha’s vibrant depictions of natural forces, this exhibition reflects the ongoing evolution of Lockhart River’s artistic voice. It is a celebration of the resilience and creativity that defines this dynamic community – a legacy that continues to thrive.
