Muk Muk Fine Art will host the first solo exhibition for Aboriginal artist Margaret Loy Pula from Utopia in Central Australia.
Margaret Loy Pula hails from an incredibly distinguished artistic family. She is the daughter of well known Aboriginal artist Kathleen Petyarre and the mother of Abie Loy Kemarre, a rising star from the Utopia region. Both Abie and Margaret were taught to paint by Kathleen. Her aunties are the Petyarre sisters - Ada, Nancy, Myrtle and Gloria all of whom are established artists and whose works hang in collections both in Australia and overseas.
Margaret paints her fathers dreaming and the stories that she depicts include country, bush food and ceremonial designs. Her main story is the "Anatye" or bush potato dreaming which is portrayed using a series of fine, microscopic dots.
The exhibition opens on Sunday 12th September and runs until 10th October.
