Ngihrgawany

Brad Turner is a renowned Australian Aboriginal artist and a proud Saltwater man of Bundjalung Country. His artistic journey began alongside his daughter, exploring culture through creativity. His art has since evolved into a celebrated practice that bridges tradition and contemporary expression. Each piece is a vibrant reflection of Country - honouring land, waters, and community, with stories rooted in First Nations knowledge. Brad’s bold colour palette symbolises healing, resilience, and hope, drawn from his own life experiences. With every brushstroke, Brad celebrates the strength and continuity of Indigenous culture, inspiring connection, reflection, and a future grounded in respect and pride. 

In the soft light of spring, Bundjalung Country awakens with quiet energy. Fresh shoots push through the earth, the air carries the scent of renewal, and colour begins to rise - rich ochres, warm yellows, and touches of rose and pink echoing the season’s return.
The ngihrgawany (Spring) artworks follow the rhythms of the season; curving like unfurling leaves, stretching like branches reaching for light. Each shape feels alive, grounded in place; shaped by the same forces that bring flowers to bloom and rivers to stir.
