Clifton Bieundurry
The key Indigenous artist for NOMAD TWO WORLDS, Clifton Bieundurry, is a multi-talented Walmajarri artist from the Central Kimberley region. His formative years were spent immersed in traditional language and cultural practices in his family homeland. His Indigenous paintings have become highly collectable. Renowned for his distinctive mix of acrylics and ochre on handmade paper, linen and canvas his striking contemporary representations of his ancestral country tell stories of social justice issues confronting his people.

Widely acclaimed for his solo art exhibitions in New York (2007), Los Angeles (2007) and at The Art of Australia Gallery in Melbourne (2008) he is also the two time winner of the prestigious Shinju Art Award in Broome (2005-2006). The featured artist of Old Broome Lockup Gallery since 2005 Bieundurry also plays a pivotal role as a cultural interpreter assisting Kimberley Aboriginal people in community development projects. Says Bieundurry “I feel there is a gap in interpreting Aboriginal culture, the contemporary and the ancient, to the outside world. I paint to fill that gap so that translation is clear and understood; not only by non-Indigenous people but also by Indigenous people themselves.”
