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!

100% Design 2019 - thank you to everyone who visited our Bay Gallery Home stand

Our recent foray into 100% Design London 2019 was four days of pure interior designer jubilance.

Bay Gallery Home offers colour and pattern with origin helping support the Aboriginal artists we represent. The Australian Aboriginals are the oldest continuous race in the world sustaining symbiotic relationships with the land. Designers were keen to embrace the traditional owners’ depictions of their land and Dreamtime stories and we enjoyed meeting so many professionals in interior design and architecture who worked across residential and commercial projects.

Some of the most interesting conversations we had, were with those in the commercial sector looking to add colour to the grey/black/wood/concrete/stripped brick interiors they have been specifying for years. One designer said he had being asked to specify internal gardens, including moss walls, but as an alternative he wanted to offer our Lilly Green wallpaper.

One of the best moments of a design fair for us, is watching people’s faces as they come across our stand and the Aboriginal designs for the first time. As we explain the origin of the designs and invite people to explore our stand, it’s great to see any self consciousness leave them, opening them up to a wholly tactile experience as they study the fabrics, wallpapers, tiles and rugs.

We were also thrilled many interior designers wanted to specify our ‘My Country’ collection for their own homes.

Next stop New York!

International Women's Day

International Women’s Day is when we celebrate being women and acknowledge the challenges we face and often overcome. These Aboriginal artists lived a traditional nomadic lifestyle before the “white fella” found them in the desert. Given the lack of valuable resources and remoteness of the Warlpiri land the skin groups were mostly left to continue their life unhindered. However, some were pressed into domestic servitude as well as experiencing violence at the hands of the white settlers. The Coniston massacre was amongst some of the worst violence visited upon them seeing many retreating to place like Mt Theo to hide.

The spirit the Warlpiri people retained despite the harshness of the new life thrust upon them has passed onto future generations. Judy ( in the forefront) was instrumental in retaining knowledge of Country by sharing her life stories and Mina Mina Dreaming with the younger children. She was the embodiment of strength and wisdom who became an internationally renowned artist despite all the challenges she and other Warlpiri woman faced.
