Imants Tillers 'Terra Incognita'

“Terra incognita is for me a kind of homage to indigenous Australia, a lament for the tragedies of all the lost tribes, languages and cultures of Australia but also, simultaneously, a kind of honour roll for the spectacular resurgence of their culture. This has been revealed to the wider world through art and especially through the medium of painting – an amazing phenomenon to which all Australians have borne witness over the last 30 years.”
