Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Gloria Petyarre, Minnie Pwerle, and Polly Ngale were instrumental in establishing the famous Utopia school of painting in the 1990s. Kngwarreye is still the highest priced female Australian artist at auction and her bold imagery largely led to Aboriginal art being regarded as a contemporary, rather than an ethnographic, art form.
NextGen Utopia celebrates the work of 13 of their descendants – each of whom grew up surrounded by the art of their famous forebears. Their work pays tribute to the founding artists while forging their own distinctive styles.
