Over the next month we will be attending the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair and visiting artists we represent from the Northern Territory.

While we work our way through the desert we hope to meet many artists, some of whom we already represent but haven’t met yet, including Susie Ngwarraye Ross, her daughter Pammy Kemmare Foster and Susie’s sister Tracey Ngwarraye Ross.

Bay Gallery Home will share photos and videos from our adventures. If you have any questions regarding the art and artists please send them through and we’ll endeavour to get them answered while our feet are deep in Australia’s red soil, or as there call it here, “red dirt”.

In other news, Steven Jupurrurla Nelson, an artist whose work absolutely blew our mind when we discovered it on a visit to Yuendumu in 2017, has been selected as a finalist for the highly prestigious Telsa NATSIAA prize. On seeing his work last year for the first time, after letting out a gasp, we knew we’d found something very special. An intriguing talent whose unrestricted colour palette is limitless. If you have bought a Steven from us you have invested in one of the most exciting artists emerging in the contemporary art movement. Bay Gallery Home has three available on our website.

Bay Gallery Home wishes you all a Happy Christmas and New Year.

Thank you for continued support through difficult times. In 2024 we will continue to work hard to bring you beautiful paintings and products from the uniquely talented Aboriginal artists of the Central Desert in Australia via our Tetbury, Cotswold art gallery. We will also have stands at the Affordable Art Fair in Battersea and Hampstead Heath as well as the Spring Homes & Garden Fair, Sudeley Castle & Gardens.

While we will be closed from 14 December to 13 January you can still access the gallery if needed. Please call text or email Alexandra a day or so in advance so we can organise entry. Work will continue while we’re on holiday as we have an amazing collection of new works to upload so keep an eye on the website for first dibs on the new paintings.

Battersea Art Fair 19-23 October 2022 - Invitation to Bay Gallery Home Stand D8

Bay Gallery Home would love you to join us at our first Battersea Art Fair in Battersea Park October 2022.

In May we exhibited at Hampstead Heath Affordable Art Fair where we met many people fascinated by the painting designs, the stories behind them and the Central Desert Aboriginal artists we represent. Some of our new buyers included people from Sotheby’s and the Tate among many others searching for high quality art for their homes, or offices. It’s was a great resource for interior designers too.

Many repeat clients continued to support the gallery with new purchases including the most amazing painting by Michelle Pula Holmes recently shortlisted for the $100,000 Hadley Art Prize in Australia (Australian Landscape).

In the run up to October we are increasingly excited about sharing new works with Aboriginal art novices as well as those who have supported Bay Gallery Home since opening our gallery 14 years ago.

Artists we’ve represented have gone on to become sought after including Athena Nangala Granites, Steven Jupurrurla Nelson, Betty Pula Morton and Rosie Ngwarraye Ross.

As a gallery our ethos is to make art inclusive so we endeavour to to keep the prices affordable. We offer emerging and established artists across many different sized canvases and styles directly from the Central Australian Desert Walpiri Country, Alyawerre Country and Atnwengerrp Country.

Please reserve your VIP ticket to the Battersea Affordable Art Fair from 19-23 October on the link below.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Art, NEWS, New Art

More paintings have arrived!

On our website you can see new paintings by some of our many talented artists. They arrived yesterday and we sold one this morning so if you have your heart set on any of the paintings please don’t delay in ordering it.

The pandemic has forced people to reassess their lives in many ways. In the gallery we are finding people wanting to cover their walls in meaningful, exuberant art after staring at them for so long during lock downs across the world. As such we’ve selected artworks which keep you captivated letting your eyes wander aimlessly across the canvas. The new selection is a mixture of bold blues, oranges, greens and reds for those that need an uplift during Zoom calls or afternoons with the children. We’ve also catered for people who need a calming influence after a stressful day with pastel blue, pinks, browns and yellows.

The Aboriginal people have suffered so much but remain incredibly resilient. It serves as an inspiration to us every day to do the best under the circumstances - we’re hoping that the artwork will serve as uplifting inspiration to you too.
