Indigenous artists explore scorching heat in new exhibition
As Pilbara prepares for another hot summer, more than 60 artists interpret and celebrate the region's scorching change of season at a new exhibition. Here are three artworks you should see.
Western Australia's Pilbara region is experiencing scorching summer temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius. Indigenous artists at South Hedland's Spinifex Hill Studio are responding to the heat with new artworks for the upcoming Turn Up the Heat exhibition. Eldride Edwards, the studio team leader, recommends three standout pieces: Beryl Ponce's vibrant canvas representing native summer flowers, Doreen Chapman's deaf mother-daughter collaboration showcasing waterholes in the desert, and Allen's unique x-ray-like depictions of desert animals. The exhibition runs from October 30 to December 5 at Spinifex Hill Studio.
