PRESS RELEASE - BAY GALLERY HOME
Bay Gallery Home represents Central Desert Aboriginal art from their Cotswold based art gallery. Alexandra O’Brien moved to Sydney Australia as a young child returning to the UK 26 years ago.
Bay Gallery Home has represented bold, beautiful paintings based on Aboriginal Dreamtime mythology and culture, featuring the landscape, plants and animals found in the Australian Outback. The gallery represents a large number of artists including established and a selection of new generation artists: the “ones to watch”.
The gallery’s relationship with the Central Australian Aboriginal artists was established over 16 year ago after being asked to represent them in the UK. The majority of artists Bay Gallery Home represents are from Aboriginal owned art centres. Each artist is directly remunerated for the original purchase of artwork that has bearing on the mobility, educational, health and work opportunities of isolated communities.
By exposing the culture to a broader international audience, Bay Gallery Home contributes to the debate about archaeology, horticulture, botany, anthropology and the preservation of ancient & indigenous cultures.
O'Brien, founder of Bay Home Gallery:
“Since moving to the Cotswolds from London to establish the only dedicated Aboriginal art gallery in the UK we have been moved by the profound affinity for the artwork from people all over the UK. Hence our desire to take it further by creating ‘My Country’ the worlds first Aboriginal interiors collection.”
“I visit Australia around once a year to choose works. Although I have a huge intuition for the artworks I curate, the paintings are also chosen for the quality of the art and where the artist is in their career. The ethos of the art gallery is to sell affordable art accessible to as many people as possible.”
