A conversation with Daniel Walbidi, an extraordinary indigenous Australian artist whose work bridges the spiritual and ancient wisdom of the desert with contemporary artistic expression. The one-on-one discussion with Daniel provided the unique opportunity to connect through the common language of visual art with someone nearly 10,000 miles away. In the conversation, Daniel and I discuss his creative process, the significance of his cultural heritage, and the importance of place in his art. We also explore the meditative nature of both producing and experiencing art. Our conversation centers around his latest show, ‘Yurlupirti - Forever Without End (eternal),’ which is the inaugural exhibition at D’Lan Contemporary’s new space in New York. This exhibition features ten new paintings that delve deeper into Daniel's personal beliefs and cultural perspectives, highlighting the fusion of coastal and desert environments through a vivid and layered abstract style.
