Leaves by Gloria Petyarre (SOLD)

Soft and subtle movement in this compact work, combined with rich, warm browns and charcoal make this painting a unique little treasure.

This painting represents leaves, some of which have medicinal qualities. This style by Gloria Petyarre is one of the most prestigious styles in Australian art, winning her the acclaimed Wynne Prize in 1999.

This subject does not pertain to stories from Gloria’s culture, but is an original idea created by Gloria.

“That first one. I was looking, looking. Looks like leaf, and I been put another one and another one and ‘ah yeah’. First leaf” - Gloria Petyarre
