A new art gallery in Tewantin is set to turn heads with the launch of The Re-remembering Exhibition on Friday 1 April from 6.30pm till 8.30pm.
Gaiungan Gallery owner and artist Peter Muraay Djeripi Mulcahy would love to invite you to experience the deep and abiding stories that accompany each one of his fine art creations.
This accomplished aboriginal artist is committed to culture while his signature fine lines, exquisite attention to detail, and deep and stirring stories continue to set him apart.
The Gamilaroi man has been a cultural teacher and professional artist for close to 30 years, where his work has been sold both nationally and internationally since 1995.
Mu-raays Djeripi’s passion is infectious, and at the heart of all he paints, writes, and speaks, is a desire to reach his audience with knowledge gained from elders and spirit.
His works reflect the old in the new, the ancient light from which we all emerged.
“My work is not about division, it’s not about ‘the other’, it’s about the uniqueness of the land and spirit on which we now all stand,” he said.
“My creations hold within them the forever stories of the universal becoming.
“Each work is a memory of time spent with my beautiful old people. Finally, and most importantly, they carry the essence and spirit that awoke in the time of Gamil Bidi Wii (the time before the Great Light).
“I believe as my old people knew, if we could only remember how great we were, we could reignite the flames of our future greatness.
“Visit Gaiungan Gallery to see a story, hear a story, and together grow our story.”
The Re-remembering Exhibition will run until 30 April.
