Join us to celebrate the new year with our first exhibition for 2025.

From its beginnings, Balgo art has been celebrated for its daring use of colour, striking iconography, and dynamic, boundary-pushing styles.

Early works often depicted ceremonial iconography and Tjukurrpa (Dreaming) stories, capturing the essence of Country and the journeys of ancestral beings. These paintings were deeply rooted in cultural knowledge, acting as both a visual language and a connection to the artists’ homelands.

Balgo artists have seemed to veer comfortably in and out of abstraction, while still allowing space to employ the traditional iconographic elements. This resulted in the development of an extremely diverse mix of styles. To this day Warlayirti Artists studios continue to play host for a wide range of artistic styles and voices, making diversity of style a timeless theme.
