About Gesture

Aboriginal Bush Traders is proud to present Gesture, an exhibition foregrounding the artistic practice of Indigenous artists with disability in the Northern Territory. Featuring the work of artists from Bindi Mwerre Anthurre Artists (Central Desert), Free Space Studio (Darwin) Ngaruwanajirri Inc. (Tiwi) and the work of Dion Beasley (Tennant Creek), Gesture speaks to bold mark making and the presence of the artist’s hand. In another sense, gesture also speaks to forms of communication that are non-verbal and the importance of those forms for communities of people with disability.

Biography:

Local territory artist, Robert (Thomas) Russell, started honing his skills as a painter and timber sculptor in his thirties. Thomas shares his culture as a proud Aboriginal man from the Adelaide River Region.

Often working with black wattle collected nearby, Thomas sculpts anything from traditional artifacts such as boomerangs to artistic birds. Thomas began practicing his craft to share the knowledge of his culture and pass down the traditions to emerging artists and members of the community.

Painting with a influence of both contemporary and traditional aboriginal techniques, Thomas favors native animals often with a cross hatch pattern, acknowledging the traditional ochre colours in his paint choices of black, white, red and yellow.
