We were staying out at Uluru visiting uncle Reggie Uluru and we had two thunderstorms so that’s what I painted this is the story.
Kurun is a member of the Indigenous Guntijamara tribe and is a descendant from Truganini, the last Tasmanian Indigenous queen. Kurun Warun, whose name means ‘Hissing Swan’, started painting at just eight years of age. An internationally acclaimed didgeridoo musician and dancer, he best known for his exceptional dot art, and his works now are valuable collectables. His Aboriginal dot paintings have a traditional meaning, not always obvious, but within the colours, lines and spaces we are led through an underlying story. Kurun Warun lives in the Queensland hinterland, near Noosa.
