Kurun Warun
Kurun Warun (Hissing Swan) is a Guntijamara man from the Noosa Hinterland in Southeast Queensland. With ancestral ties to Truganini’s family line in Lutruwita (Tasmania), Kurun has forged a distinctive style that has caught the eye of collectors like Pierce Brosnan and Oprah Winfrey. Parallel lines painted on to canvas with his fingers create a mesmeric shimmering effect, an hallucinatory image in black and white, or vivid sunset palettes, often featuring his totem - the grasstree spear. His work is the original ‘digital’.
“It is not always what you see, but what you feel when a painting speaks to you.” -
