'Spirit in the Land' is a stunning exhibition, being held at the Flinders University City Gallery, State library of South Australia, North Terrace, Adelaide. The artists featured are Australia's most influential artists; Lorraine Connelly-Northey, John Davis, Russell Drysdale, Rosalie Gascoigne, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Dorothy Napangardi, Sidney Nolan, John Olsen, Lin Onus, Rover Thomas and Fred Williams. This exhibition beautifully illustrates shared themes and cultural exchanges, between indigenous and non indigenous Australian Artists. Although Rosalie Gasgoigne was a New Zealander.
Robert Lindsay, Director, McClelland Gallery+Sculpture Park, said "Spirit in the land is about iconic works that talk about the land and their relationship to the formation of an Australian identity".
