Everywhen Art presents
Small Works, Big Stories: 50 works | 20 years


Fifty + small paintings by First Nations artists encapsulate extensive creation stories. This exhibition features works collected over the past 20 years by Everywhen’s curators Susan McCulloch and Emily McCulloch Childs. The distilling of imagery of often-epic stories in these small gems lead to dynamic works of concentrated energy.

The earliest work in the exhibition is a circa 1984 landscape by famed Arrernte watercolourist Wenten Rubuntja (1926-2005). Other works are those by important and founding artists of leading art centres in the Kimberley, Central and Western Deserts, Utopia, the Pilbara and Arnhem Land.

We love these delightful sulfur-crested cockatoos by Cherylyn Napangardi Granites that have flown into the gallery all the way from Yuendumu, N.T in the Western Desert.

Granites work variously depicts the Yunkaranyi Jukurrpa (Honey Ant Dreaming), Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Country Dreaming) and Janynki Jukurrpa, stories about country close to Yuendumu.

These stories have been passed down from her father’s side and his father’s side for millennia and relate directly to her land, its features and the plants and animals that inhabit it.

Cherylyn Napangardi frequently goes travelling throughout Australia and is often inspired by the landscapes, animals and varying colours that different parts of the country have to offer. Cherylyn takes this inspiration and uses it to create her artworks allowing the changing flora and fauna to influence what she paints when back in Yuendumu.

“I like painting. I like to keep my culture strong. I watched my grandmother, my father’s mother, paint and now when I’m painting it makes me happy, it reminds me of her.”

Congratulations to Wunambal Gaambera/Worrorra artist Angelina Karadada Boona of who has been selected for the prestigious NGV Triennial 2026 opening 13th December 2026

In what will be the most ambitious work of her career to date, Angelina will reimagine the NGV’s iconic Waterwall with an illuminated Wandjina figure, glowing against the gallery’s cascading glass facade.

The Wandjina is the powerful ancestral spirit, also known as the rainmaker and creator of the land. He brings the wunju (monsoon rain), and always watches over the Country and the animals.

NGV Triennial 2026 brings together more than 80 ambitious projects by nearly 100 artists and designers from
35 countries, presenting a global journey through contemporary practice spanning diverse disciplines.
Grounded in major new commissions and world-premiere works, the Triennial celebrates the work of some of the world’s most respected artists while amplifying the voices of emerging talents.

📍NGV International, 180 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne.
13 December 2026 - 11 April 2027. Free entry.

New in the gallery: fresh vibrant works from Warlukurlangu Artists of Yuendumu.

Including new work by Geraldine Napangardi Granites, who was born at and has lived in Yuendumu all her life.

Daughter of the late artist Alma Nungarrayi Granites, granddaughter of Paddy Japaljarri Sims (dec) and Bessie Nakamarra Sims (dec): two of Warlukurlangu Artists’ founding artists, Geraldine is working to develop a modern interpretation of traditional culture, depicting the Mina Mina Dreaming story which is an important woman’s story.

Her work depicts the Ngalyipi Jukurrpa (Snake Vine Dreaming) – Purturlu. The country associated with this Dreaming is located at Purturlu (Mt. Theo), north of Yuendumu.

‘Ngalyipi’ (snakevine) is a green creeper that climbs up the trunks and branches of trees and shrubs. The plant is found on sandy spinifex plains and sandhills.

‘Ngalyipi’ is frequently depicted in paintings due to its many uses and its great ceremonial importance. The vine can be used as a shoulder strap to carry ‘parraja’ (coolamons) and ‘ngami’ (water carriers). The plant also has medicinal and ceremonial uses.

NEW//In the gallery: Janice Stanley

Janice Stanley (b.1987) is the third generation of Stanley women to create artwork at Ernabella Arts. She is an early career painter and ceramic artist showing great promise.
 
Janice’s paintings depict a very significant tjurkurpa (story) to Aṉangu, Kungkarangkalpa (Seven Sisters), which is an extensive creation story relating to the Pleiades constellation. The story traverses Australia taking different forms, and local women are privy to the part of the story which takes place in the country near Ernabella.

In her paintings Janice is depicting a salt lake near Attila (Mt Connor) a landmark in the Seven Sisters story. This story has been passed down to her by senior artist and aunt Renita Stanley. In this part of the story the sisters are walking and traveling south through this country. The Salt Lake that is a part of this arid county comes alive after rain. As the kapi (water) moves across the land it transforms the colour and light on the land and Janice is painting this change and movement.

Her work has been exhibited nationally, and in 2024 Everywhen Art placed Stanley’s work in the collection of Australian Parliament House, Canberra.

View these fresh new works of Stanley’s in the gallery this weekend

Petrina Bedford is a third-generation Ngarinyin artist, born in 1998. Both her maternal grandfather Jack Dale Mengenen and her paternal grandfather Nyunkuny Paddy Bedford are famous Kimberley painters (now deceased).

Encouraged by Jack Dale, Petrina painted from a very young age, first exhibiting paintings at a commercial gallery at age twelve.

Petrina uses her own contemporary style when painting, but she turns to traditional subject matter to reflect the Wandjina and classical stories passed down through her family. Her painting utilises bright colour to play with line, shape and form.

This work depicts the powerful Wandjin spirit, highly respected by the Worrora, Ngarinyin and Wunumbul people who live at Mowanjum and along the Gibb River Road to Kalumburru in the North West Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Wandjina represents the laws of everything the surrounds us trees, rivers, rocks, bush fruit and animals, all creation. The Wandjinas give the law on how we have to treat and use these creations. These customs are carried on today.
