Australian Aboriginal Art in Prescott


The Vigraha Gallery in downtown Prescot















 The Vigraha Gallery in Prescott, located at 115 E. Goodwin St.,
Suite E, is showing contemporary Aboriginal works in their 
exhibition space. Tucked back from the street and cloistered 
within a Spanish styled courtyard, the gallery shows Asian,
Indian and Himalayan antique art. Visiting the gallery is like 
stumbling upon a luminous jewel and one is stuck by the 
profound sense of peace and quiet within the gallery confines.
Sculptures and painted works abound and the gallery is packed 
with quality Eastern Art treasures large and small. Works are
shown in stone, wood and metal, fabric and furniture. Elegant
figures from Hindu and Buddhist pantheons are arrayed in quiet 
splendor, greeting visitors with their serene countenance and 
infectious grace.

The Aboriginal Art being shown is from contemporary Aboriginal
artists Paddy Fordham Wainburranga, William Sandy, Yinarupa
Nungala and Kudditji Kngwarreye. Both traditional and interesting
new takes on Aboriginal style are shown, with some contemporary
pieces in the show rivaling western style works.  Delicate but
powerful, the work will remain on exhibition through May 6th.
