Japingka Gallery welcomes you to the second solo exhibition by Noongar artist Yondee Shane Hansen. The artist presents recent works that detail stories from Derbarl Yerrigan, the Swan River region of Western Australia. The paintings mark the rivers and various freshwater lakes along the coastal plains. Also detailed are gnamma holes, traditional water catchment wells created to capture run-off during rainfall.
The paintings include monochromed three dimensional creations based on the concepts of sand paintings, which use sand to bolster the paint pigment and allow the upraised surface to form the design or drawing. The colours of the Noongar seasons are incorporated into the larger flowing paintings of the river and its associated waterways and lakes.
