Noongar artist Bradley Kickett began painting in 2007, but it’s only over the last three years that his unique style has developed into the hard-earned reputation he has today. Bradley’s aerial view of fluid, abstract paintings are heavily influenced by his experience of Noongar country – from the oceans to the rivers; the wildflowers and the land from airview, the flow and the shapes of the earth – the elements consistently shape Bradley’s technique. His ancestry additionally informs his work; the tales passed down to him from family and elders take life in Bradley’s art.

Shoalwater is a stunning example of Bradey Kickett‘s work, encompassing his Indigenous background with his environment.
