ArtX Contemporary is pleased to announce The Creation Circle: Aboriginal Art and Time, a curated group exhibition that invites audiences to explore the cyclical nature of life, creation, and time through the lens of Indigenous Australian art. Opening Thursday, February 6, 5-8pm, the exhibition showcases the powerful connection between art, spirituality, and culture that has spanned thousands of years.
Aboriginal art transcends linear time, weaving together the past, present, and future into a single continuous narrative. The exhibition reflects how Creation stories and artistic expression are timeless, embedded in an eternal cycle.
“The concept of ‘cycles’ is intrinsic to Aboriginal worldviews. This exhibition brings to life the way indigenous Australian people experience time—not as a linear progression, but as a continuous, interconnected circle, where land, ancestors, and creation stories are all part of this living, breathing cycle” says Cora Edmonds, Gallery Director.
The exhibition features a diverse range of works, from traditional dot paintings to emerging contemporary styles, each inviting reflection on the ongoing renewal of life and creation in Aboriginal cultures. Through vibrant color, intricate patterns, and symbolic representations, the artworks invite viewers to reflect on the way in which Aboriginal cultures celebrate the cyclical nature of existence—whether in the creation of the land, the movement of the seasons, or the sacred rituals that pass from generation to generation.
Featuring artists from Papunya Tula (Western Desert), Gloria Petyarre & Abie Loy Kemarre (Utopia/Northern Territory), Kurun Warun (Gunditjmara), Janice Stanley (Ernabella Arts/Anangu-Pitjantjatjara-Yankunytjatjara/APY Lands), Debbie Napaltjarri Brown (Nyirripi), Nicola Miller (Millikapiti), and more, the exhibition provides a unique opportunity to engage with the spiritual and cultural significance of art in Aboriginal communities.
