Sigi Gabrie

  • Artist (Mixed Media Artist)
Made a work in 1996 which consists of large cut-outs of a boy artist and his Aboriginal subjects taken from colonial artist Robert Dowling's painting, 'Early Effort--Art in Australia'. The work places its two-dimensional antipodean figures against a background of colonial history, aiming to give some authenticity to a far less picturesque past than that depicted.
