Event Description
- Full Description:
- Jimmy Pike was a great story-teller. Touched with a lively sense of humour, his art depicts the dynamism of life in the desert: waterholes, the landscape, animals and plants, as well as Ngarrangkarni or Dreamtime stories, people, and modern technology.
Jimmy Pike’s Artlines... is a selection of vibrant felt-tip pen drawings that bring the artist’s country in the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia into glorious relief through renderings of spirit beings, flowers, stars and earthscapes.
Jimmy Pike Artlines: You call it desert, we used to live there is proudly presented by The Berndt Museum, The University of Western Australia. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body. The national tour of this exhibition is managed by ART ON THE MOVE.
