Kevin Williams Gallery

Description

Kevin Williams is a painter and printmaker based in Gunbower. A Waradjuri man from Narrandera in NSW, Kevin grew up surrounded by art: his father and grandfather made indigeneous artefacts, and his mother was a painter.

Kevin has exhibited widely – in Australia and internationally. He has work hanging in Queens Hall at Parliament House in Victoria as well as in collections around the world.

Of his art, Kevin says:

“The markings and symbols in my artwork relate specifically to the Waradjuri and where I was born and raised … home to the largest Bora Ground (traditional meeting place) recorded, consisting of two large circles connected by a 500m pathway. Along this pathway there were ground carvings and ornately carved trees with symbols, markings and the animals that are totems of the Waradjuri. It is these carvings that are now a strong feature of my work.”

Kevin Williams Gallery is located in Gunbower and open from 9.30am to 4.30pm Wednesday to Sunday.
