For a PDF catalogue please email [email protected] SMH - GOOD WEEKEND - SEPTEMBER 2019 BY JOHN MCDONALD, ART CRITIC FOR THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD ARTIST: Regina Pilawuk Wilson LIVES: Peppimenarti, West Daly region, NT AGE: 71 REPRESENTED BY: Michael Reid, Sydney + Berlin HER THING: Complex, hypnotic paintings based on traditional themes. OUR TAKE: In the small community of Peppimentarti in the north-western corner of Australia, Regina Pilawuk Wilson is the matriarch. She founded this settlement in 1973 with her late husband, Harry Wilson, the leader of a group of Ngan’gikurrungurr people who left a Catholic mission and went searching for a place to live on their traditional homelands. The women of Peppimenarti have always been weavers but Wilson was inspired to take up painting after a trip to Noumea for a Pacific Arts Festival in 2000. She would find her subject matter in the sun mats, message sticks and fish traps that were already being made in the community. To the untutored eye her dense meshes of closely-packed, overlapping lines might look entirely abstract but Wilson always has a particular object in mind. On canvas the woven forms take on a cosmic dimension, with thousands of rippling lines radiating from a central core, or spreading across as a surface as a mass of broken rhythmns. Now regarded as one of Australia’s leading indigenous artists, Wilson has won the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award, and had work exhibited in the United States and Europe, most recently at the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C. It’s a little surprising to find that Wilson’s biggest sale to date is only $40,000, but with growing international interest that record looks decidely shaky. #michaelreidsydney #reginawilson #reginapilawuk #durrmuarts (at Michael Reid Sydney) https://www.instagram.com/p/B28mXQsAd4s/?igshid=1wy7ban2n6pfs

NOW AT @michaelreidberlin: We are pleased to present a new work from Regina Pilawuk Wilson @michaelreidberlin. For a catalogue with more details, please email Berlin Manager: [email protected] Regina Pilawuk Wilson is a skilled weaver and painter, and one of the founding members of the Peppimenarti community near Darwin, Australia (language group Ngangikurrungurr). Regina's paintings are often based on the stitch and weave of the syaw (fish net) – the net used to gather fish, prawns and other seafood, made from the pinbin vine (bush vine), stripped into fibre and woven as a net. This practice extends upon the extensive array of weaving and stitching designs taught to her by her maternal grandmother. She took up painting in the 1990s, continuing as a fine weaver of the unique string warrgarri (dilly bags) and other weavings from whose technique she has adapted her finely lined paintings. #reginawilson #ReginaPilawukWilson #ngangikurrungurr #peppimenarti #michaelreidsydney #michaelreidberlin (at Michael Reid Berlin) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJNWJ4gHSA/?igshid=h2unlxvz4lol
