Alcaston Gallery presents Nellie Ngampa Coulthard’s fifth solo exhibition, Ngura Itjanungka – Country After Rain.

Coulthard’s paintings of Yankunytjatjara Country are refined in both technique and composition. Accenting bold pinks, golden browns and burnt oranges – the colours of the central and eastern deserts of Australia – her paintings are defined by the outstretched linear branches of the Acacia Murrayana Wattle that sit at the heart of her composition and which have become synonymous with her practice.

Exhibition Opening: Thursday 18 July, 4 – 6.30pm.
