Boomalli Gallery
• 55-59 Flood St, LEICHHARDT NSW • Ph: 02 9560 2541 • Fax: 02 9560
2541 •
• The word Boomalli is taken from
3 Language/tribal groupings Gamailerio, Bundgulung and the Wiradjuri.
Making a mark is not only about art it is about expressing a repressed voice
within the history of Australia, exhibiting and promote Aboriginal art on our
own terms.
It has only been within the last 30 years that Aboriginal art has been taken out
of a sterile ethnographic museum context and recognized as an aestetic and
cultural expression as unique as the landscape that it often depicts.
Boomalli is a resource centre for Aboriginal artists as well as the wider
artistic community and continues to make a mark on art and culture in Australia
today.

•
Trephina Sultan was
born in Alice Springs in Central Australia. Visitors to the Alice Springs area
have been purchasing Trephina’s paintings over many years. The paintings
reflect her family's culture, upbringing as a young child, and stories
as told by her Elders.
Her work include the ‘dot style’ synonymous with Aboriginal art,
including the many symbolism and iconography that represent the
vegetation, food source, flora and fauna that is representative of
Central Australia. A more recent work, is her ‘Tjanpi Kampanyi’ (Burning
Grass), a move away from her previous traditional works.
As well as producing art of different sizes, from the small to the wall
size canvases, Trephina has also created pieces by request. A recent
commissioned painting incorporated ‘blues’, representing water.
Other works have included the interpretation of stories:
- Kulu - the landing of a meteorite and the beginning of life
- Grandmothers Way - Elder Ladies teaching the children stories, songs and
dance and to have respect for the land
You can place an order for a commissioned piece by Trephina through AusEmade.
