Tribal art London is the UK’s leading fair devoted to ethnographic and tribal art from indigenous communities around the world.
Bay Gallery Home’s owner Alexandra O’Brien sources artwork from several communities across Central Australia, Western Desert and the Tiwi Islands. Often travelling down the dusty desert roads to the artists’ Country reconnecting with them while seeking out special works to bring to the UK.
Alongside 40 new paintings from her most recent trip will feature at the show alongside artefacts and artworks collected by music industry mogul David Munns OBE, who worked with superstar bands including The Rolling Stones and U2 during a long and successful career.
Ms O’Brien, who founded her gallery in 2008, described Mr Munns’ collection of carved, wooden sculptures, vendetta spears as well as an important painting by Cassidy Tjapaltjarri Possum (Clifford Possum’s brother) as “an ethnographic study of artefacts from Arnhem Land and the Tiwi lslands.” She added: “they are worth further study for the intricate ochre painting and etchings sharing ancient narratives and sacred iconography.”
