Alcaston Gallery presents two solo exhibitions in conjunction with the Estates of Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori (c.1924 – 2015) and Ginger Riley Munduwalawala (c.1936 – 2002) for our 2024 All About Art annual collectors’ exhibition Counterpoint.

Gabori and Riley are both remembered as two of Australia’s most influential and important contemporary artists. Masters of composition and colour, their practice was deeply transformative to the national and international perception and appreciation of the Australian landscape painting and Australian First Nations art – their oeuvre forever altering the Australian contemporary art scene. Together Gabori and Riley’s paintings emphasize and clarify the unique beauty of the Gulf of Carpentaria of Australia, each a counterpoint to the other, they capture the colour, light and knowledge of the mind’s eye to canvas.
