Emily Kngwarreye – Wild Flower Dreaming Some paintings the yam motif is not obvious, it lies below the surface of them all. In this 'wildflower' painting Emily captures the brief season when the pencil yam produces bright green foliage and yellowish flowers on the grounds surface. However, the nutritional value of the yam is hidden underground in the swollen roots and their pod-like attachments, which are difficult to locate as the plant's unpredictable growth patterns make harvest difficult and specialised. Traditionally much effort is expended across large areas in the harvest of this valuable food.

Art in the Family – Pekel’s reflectionsChris Pekel taught by his parents has taken his father’s contemporary impressionism and developed his own modern impressionist works. These alternate between loose, almost abstract forms and realist mages, many painted plein-aire around his home, Sydney.

Art in the Family – Utopia CommunityThe women of Utopia were then introduced to acrylic paint, producing small canvasses that were even more distinctive than the batiks. A number of individual artists began producing art that was radically different to that produced by the group and, from the beginning, Emily Kngwarreye’s work displayed a raw vigour and a sinuous energy, which made her work stand out from the others. . This is how Utopia art emerged. So too had artists such as Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Gloria Petyarre,. This art continued to change with the introduction of more colour, more storylines, and more abstract work, but it always has an underlying cultural meaninghttp://ultimateart.com.au/
