About this artwork

Sally Gabori created Dibirdibi Country with bold strokes of synthetic polymer paint on canvas. The eye is immediately drawn to the chromatic intensity, as Gabori establishes a visual rhythm through the interplay of colors, mainly reds, purples, blues and whites, structured through brushstrokes. The formal arrangement of color and texture serves as a coded map. Each daub of paint is a signifier, relating to specific locations and narratives, as if the landscape itself is a language waiting to be deciphered. Gabori's work challenges traditional notions of landscape art. Rather than offering a mimetic representation, she engages with the land as a palimpsest of personal and collective memory. This disrupts conventional ways of seeing by positioning the artwork as a site of fluid and multiple meanings. Her paintings, therefore, invite a re-evaluation of how we perceive space, identity, and history. The materiality of each brushstroke becomes a testament to lived experience.
