Australian Aboriginal Art - Isiah Nagurrgurrba see the Artists prints Browse Arnhem Land Prints
Australian Aboriginal artist Isiah Nagurrgurrba is a screenprinter who has been working with Injalak Arts since 1989. He is an important member of the Gunbalanya community and is actively involved in the ceremonial life and traditional culture of this community. His country is Marlkawa, south east of Oenpelli, and his major Djang or Dreaming story is Yawk Yawk or female water spirits, mythological spirit beings that closely resemble the European notion of mermaids. His sense of humour and style are evident in his paintings. Isiah has been commissioned to produce designs for tour buses in Australia and Germany and is licensed as a Yijan artist to produce designs for items such as place-mats, coasters and articles of clothing. His work has been shown in Perth and Darwin and he was a finalist in the 1998 annual Telstra Aboriginal Art Awards at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, one of the most prestigious Aboriginal Art awards in Australia. subjects and themes Yawk Yawk - female water spirit, filesnake, bream, Ngalyod - Rainbow serpent, barramundi, long neck turtle, Namarrkon, Mimi, Yawk Yawk, Ngalyod, catfish, file snake. exhibitions Group exhibitions 1998 Hogarth Galleries, Sydney NSW. 1998 Telstra Aboriginal Art Awards, Darwin, NT - finalist. 1998 Desert Designs, Japingka Gallery, Perth, WA. 1994 Indigenart, Perth, WA.
