Please join us for the launch of William Mackinnon’s ‘Night Games’ and Carol Puruntatameri's 'Purrukupali, Jinani Kapi Yipali Ngima (My feeling about the story of Purrukupali and Jinani)’ on Saturday 14th November from 1-3pm.

WILLIAM MACKINNON
Night Games
Capturing a poised and silent tension, the tennis courts are empty, yet the nets and umbrellas are in place, ready for play. A similar scene is observed in William Mackinnon’s depiction of a deserted road lined with illuminated signs - his visual language makes unoccupied spaces feel intensely inhabited.
William Mackinnon is an artist and painter based between Ibiza and Australia whose practice is underscored by a sense of magical realism. Often drawing on personal experiences and the landscapes of his home in Australia, Mackinnon creates scenes that are frequently ambiguous, existing between the familiar and the unknown, with the artist combining real and imaginary elements to transform everyday experiences into an enigmatic other.

CAROL PURUNTATAMERI
Purrukupali, Jinani Kapi Yipali Ngima (My feeling about the story of Purrukupali and Jinani)
Carol Puruntatameri's 'Purrukupali, Jinani Kapi Yipali Ngima (My feeling about the story of Purrukupali and Jinani)', tells the story of Purrukupali and the sacred place Yipali through intricate paintings with natural ochres on bark.
Carol Puruntatameri is a senior Tiwi artist from Pirlangimpi on Yermalner (Melville Island), Northern Territory. Raised within a family deeply connected to Tiwi ceremony and cultural practice, Puruntatameri's artistic practice is informed by the cultural knowledge and traditions passed down through generations of her family.
Hugo Michell Gallery are proud to partner with Bird in Hand Winery for this opening event.
Hugo Michell Gallery acknowledges the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide region, and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
