MURIEL RILEY & PHILIP BATES

Muriel Riley is a Barkanji woman and a member of the stolen generation. She was born in Wilcannia in 1952 and grew up for a while there, but was sent to Broken Hill, then to Adelaide and finally to Sydney. When she turned 18 Muriel was turned out and hitch-hiked home to Wilcannia from Sydney. She always carried an old photograph of the Wilcannia Bridge over the Darling River and she used this to seek directions on the journey home.
In 2006 she took up painting seriously and enrolled in the Broken Hill TAFE, Arts and Media course. In 2009 she won the open section of the Far West Emerging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Prize held at the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery.
One of her main areas of practice are landscape paintings, focusing on places of historical and cultural significance to her life. She works in acrylic paint and charcoal and also produces portraits of local Aboriginal family and friends. Her work is held in many private collections with a didgeridoo taken to France.
Philip Bates was born in Wilcannia in 1970 and grew up in the country of his Paakantyi people from the Paaka or Darling River, western NSW. Philip has mixed the traditional and contemporary to create an individual style that portrays a sense of identity and association with the land. His art is an extension of a living oral tradition and is an important way of interpreting, renewing and handing on that tradition.
