Alcaston Gallery is delighted to present Pitjantjatjara artist Beverly Burton’s second solo exhibition at Alcaston Gallery.
The powerful and vibrant linear mark making of Beverly Burton's paintings is both characteristic to her artistic practice, as well as alluding to her important and influential family lineage including the work of her mother, artist and revered ngangkaṟi Naomi Kantjuriny, and her father, renowned senior artist and respected elder, the late Kunmanara (Hector) Burton.
Beverly Burton's practice honours the desert landscape of her late father and his mother before him by depicting Anumara Piti, her Grandmother’s Country, in far north-west South Australia. Her commanding and distinctive paintings describe the movement of the sandhills, recalling the way the land shimmers and shifts over time.
Since first exhibiting in 2019, Burton has established herself as one of the most exciting and innovative emerging artists working at Amata in South Australia including being recognised as a finalist in the prestigious Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in 2022 and the invitation only King’s School Art Prize, in Sydney, New South Wales in 2023.
Beverly Burton’s exhibition of new paintings will be on exhibition at the Alcaston Gallery Exhibition Space
from 18 October – 3 November 2023.
