Alan Griffiths see the Artists prints
Alan Griffiths was born at Victoria River Station in the Northern Territory in 1933. In 1957 he moved to Katherine where he worked as the head stockman at Beswick Station. This lead to further work on Maninbelli Station, Elizabeth Downs, Delamere and Willaroo. Alan then worked as a plumber and a cook until 1965 after which he moved to Kununurra to begin a new job as a tractor operator on a cotton farm at Ivanhoe Station. Allan began painting in 1981 after retiring from a long life of stock and station work. He depicts images of his country - mapping the landscapes significant features and dreamtime stories. His work also captures his days working as a stockman and life on the station. He often works in collaboration with his wife Peggy Griffiths, painting images of Corroborree for which they are key performers and teachers in their community. Apart from his life as an artist, Alan is a respected law and culture man for both his country near Timber Creek and for Mirrawoong culture in Kununurra. collections Parliament Collection Canberra ACT University of Woollongong NSW Edith Cowan University Collection, Perth WA Cable Beach Resort, Broome WA(Commission) Royal Perth Hospital Collection Perth WA Broadmeadows Health Service Collection, Melbourne VIC Artbank Australia Private Collections Australia & International Bachelor Institute NT exhibitions 2003 “Camel Trek Country”, Span Galleries, Melbourne, VIC Group exhibitions 2003 “Camel Trek Country”, Span Galleries, Melbourne, VIC group exhibitions 2004 Kimberley Focus Concert Hall, PIAF Perth, WA 2004 Newcastle Regional Gallery, Newcastle NSW 2004 Waringarri Song and Dance Cycle Sunken Gardens, UWA Perth, WA 2003 “Kimberley Art”, Short Street Gallery, Broome, WA 2003 “Moon Show”, Arthouse Gallery, Rushcutter’s Bay, Sydney, NSW 2002 “Warrgebarenkoo”, Fremantle Arts Centre, Perth, WA 2002 Kimberley Ochre, Cullen Bay, Darwin, NT 2002 Heyson Prize, Adelaide, SA 2001 “Groundwork” Fremantle Arts Centre, Perth, WA 2001 “All About Art”, Alcaston Gallery 2001 “New Wave Kimberley Art”, Corowa House, Margaret River, WA 2000 “National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award”, Museum and Art Gallery of NT, Darwin, NT 1999 “Kimberley Art Award”, Kununurra, WA 1999 “National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award”, Museum and Gallery of NT, Darwin, NT 1997 “National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award”, Museum and Gallery of NT, Darwin, NT 1995 Fremantle Print Award, Perth, WA bibliography Waringarri Arts Aboriginal Corporation Kleinert and Neal, The Oxford Companion to Aboriginal Art and Culture, Oxford University Press, 2001	region East Kimberley state WA community Kununurra born 1933 c active 1981 language Ngarinyman / Ngaliwurru art centre Waringarri Arts medium Pigment on paper, canvas, carved slate and boab nut, limited edition prints
