Artist Profile: Gunybi Ganambarr

Meet Yolŋu artists Gunybi Ganambarr and Wukun Wanambi as they explore the relationship and tension between medium and landscape.

"It's about our spiritual world story."

Meet Yolŋu artists Gunybi Ganambarr (b. 1973) and Wukun Wanambi (1962 - 2022) as they explore the relationship and tension between medium and landscape. Using industrial materials like metal, pipes, and PVC, Ganambarr transforms traditional techniques of Arnhem Land bark painting, bringing the impacts of industrialization into critical dialogue with ancestral landscapes and designs.
