Affordable Art Fair - thank you for coming!

Bay Gallery Home wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who visited our stand during our first Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead Heath. And a special thank you to those who supported the Aboriginal artists we represent by buying from our selection of beautiful Aboriginal artworks.

Tetbury is located in the Cotswolds Area of Natural Beauty and is a wonderful place to visit especially during this time of year when all the roadsides are blooming with wild flowers.

Visit us to see more gorgeous art and our ‘My Country’ Aboriginal interiors collection translated from paintings by the Central Desert Aboriginal artists we represent. Bay Gallery Home offers wallpapers, fabrics, tiles and rugs with money from gallery sales going to the desert communities we represent.

We will also be at the Affordable Art Fair in Battersea in October and the Manchester Art Fair in November.

Outback and Bay Gallery Home News

Image is from ABC News website see link below.

Sitting in my gallery, immersed in the rich beauty that has been generated by a community of Aboriginal artists far away in the Central Australian Desert I’ve received news from the other side of the world that the area where my artists live has been cut off by flooding. The sudden and often brutal monsoons that strike at this time of year are expected - it’s the wet season there - but this one has been more severe than usual.

Although I have made many trips to the Outback, the challenges these incredibly talented people have to overcome to make their work is never far from my mind.

This region has been left completely cut off for a week now. The dirt roads are under too much water for even the most robust vehicles to use, leaving those living there with dwindling supplies including food and, in the midst of their first Covid cases, vital medical supplies. The current situation has been described by local officials as “absolutely dire”.

At the community health clinic, there are just five medical staff to treat 600 patients. In recent days, they have had to handle three emergencies, including a birth, without access to Royal Flying Doctor Service support as the airstrip is completely inundated with water - it looks like a river.

From our gallery 12,000 miles away in Tetbury, we help support the Aboriginal art communities, as do many galleries across Australia and around the world, through the sale of the paintings, our ‘My Country’ interiors collection, homewares and accessories. This week we are excited to share our fabulous new rectangular cushions that have landed oh-so-softly in the gallery.

The limited run of locally-made soft furnishings, featuring the work of major art prize-winning Betty Pula Morton, Rosie Ngwarraye Ross, Melita Pitjara Morton (already sold out), Ruth Nungarrayi Spencer are plumped up and ready to go. You can see the collection on our Cushion page.

Over the weekend drop by our gallery and see what our artists are achieving in often very difficult circumstances. You’ll be as awestruck as I am every day.

New Year brings New Aboriginal artwork to Bay Gallery Home

As we enter 2022 we have been busy curating new Aboriginal paintings across a range of emerging and established artists, sizes, and styles from the Central Desert communities we represent.

Among our highlights above are larger works in subdued colour’s for lovers of lighter hues as well as three smaller paintings packing a dynamic punch with their bold colours.

Last week visitors expressed their delight at seeing the paintings “in the flesh” having discovered them online. While photographs of the paintings are beautiful its difficult to capture the texture and depth of the paintings in a photographic format. The many layers of colour applied to each artwork make them very tactile; the irregularities and (sometimes) random flicks of paint assure you that the paintings travelled all the way from the Central Australian desert bearing elements of the artists personality.

Over the course of 2022, Covid permitting, Bay Gallery Home is hoping to exhibit in various art fairs across the country. If you have any near you you’d like us to know about please let us know and we’ll endeavour to explore opportunities to exhibit our gorgeous Aboriginal art works there.

Thank you for continued support of Bay Gallery Home and the artists we represent. Hope to see you in Tetbury soon. All the best for 2022!

Bay Gallery Home is now in Knightsbridge!

Bay Gallery Home is very excited to have our ‘My Country: design with origin’ Aboriginal interiors collection represented by Percy Bass on Walton Street Knightsbridge, London.

Walton Street is one of London’s most exclusive streets bustling with interior design showrooms, art galleries, antiques, fashion, cafes, restaurants and jewelers.

To have Aboriginal art and design available from such an exclusive address is no small feat, it is a testament to the skill of the Central Desert Aboriginal artists we represent and an acknowledgement of their skilled use of colour and pattern.

If you live in Chelsea or Knightsbridge head to Percy Bass to view the collection.
