From a key period of the artist’s oeuvre, Guraki Marri Bulpuldjidji Goonya is imbued with an extraordinary dynamism so characteristic of Lin Onus’ powerful body of work. A central ripple distorts the reflected trees, while pale almost transparent fish painted with traditional rarrk designs glide just below the surface; stunning photorealism fuses with evocative Aboriginal iconography.
