nyumukuniny (little ones) Small bark paintings from Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Art Centre
Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka is a remote Indigenous art centre located in the small coastal community of Yirrkala in North East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. It is celebrated for it's large works on Stringybark or Eucalyptus Tetradonta. The use of natural materials is embedded into the art centre’s DNA. The Indigenous elders who own and direct the Centre require that ‘If you are going to paint the land you must use the land’. This restricts the use of store bought art materials and has cemented the ongoing use of all natural mediums for art creation. Whilst located in a small remote community the art centre is immense and dynamic and visitors often refer to it as an unexpected portal into another universe. It’s galleries and museum displaying both powerful and beautiful works of art. It is sometimes easy to miss the numukun _iny – little ones – hidden around desks or tucked around the corner. This exhibition is a collection of both emerging and established artists and their little gems.
