Sydney Contemporary 2023: Gaypalani Wanambi

Yolŋu artist Gaypalani Wanambi returns to Sydney Contemporary in 2023 with a presentation of new works on metal. Wanambi is the leading female practitioner within the ‘found movement’, which sees roadside material found in East Arnhem Land repurposed as contemporary art. Gaypalani Wanambi’s incomparable vision was guided by her late father, Mr Wanambi, and has positioned her as one of Australia’s most coveted new contemporary artists.

Examples of Gaypalani Wanambi’s work have been recently acquired by The Powerhouse Museum collection and later this year she will exhibit in a major exhibition at Bundanon Museum. Gaypalani Wanambi is also a current finalist in the 2023 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA).
