All Mixed Up..

The word awesome is hugely overused, I try not to use it unless something really is...awesome! Last week we went to the Fremantle Arts Centre specifically to see the All Mixed Up exhibition. I cannot express it any more succinctly than John McDonald, Sydney Morning Herald..“The Festival’s stand-out exhibition is by an indigenous artist but anyone who imagines Aboriginal painting as a matter of ochres, dots and symbols is going to be blown away by John Prince Siddon's All Mixed Up at Fremantle Arts Centre. Siddon is a Walmajarri man who lives in the remote township of Fitzroy Crossing, but his style of painting and sculpture is eclectic, gothic, psychedelic. I’m regularly surprised by new developments in indigenous art, but in this instance I was staggered.”  I was also!

Although unlike traditional Indigenous art if you look closely, through a 'surreal kaleidoscope of colour the artist does offer an incisive commentary and essential perspective on the political and social issues of today, and on Western Australia’s dark and mostly undocumented history'. Hands down one of the most stunning exhibitions I've seen, what do you think? Happy Friday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. would love it if you embiggened to see the details.. P.p.s. Perthites reading this you only have this weekend left to see this brilliant exhibition..
