What People Are Saying

 

"The work of Ray and Heather Blacklock is part of an emerging tradition of contemporary indigenous Australian art.  Each, in their own unique and starkly contrasting way, draw on the cultural heritage of the oldest surviving indigenous culture on earth and fuse this with contemporary materials, themes and visions.  These artists are creating beautiful work that challenges our preconceptions about the work of indigenous peoples."

–  Queensland Premier, Hon Anna Bligh MP

"Heather Blacklock is clearly a rising star in the era of 20th Century Masters.  The work is progressive, unique and gives voice to traditional story lines.  Heather’s work represents the essence of Australian Culture and provides inspiration and elevation to the Aboriginal People."

– Colleen M Godsell, Sydney business-woman and indigenous mentor.

“What really attracted me to Heather’s work was her fresh and unique style. It was certainly different to anything I have seen around; distinctively aboriginal, but it also has a very contemporary feel about it. Heather mixes ancient and modern together to form this very different, fresh and unique style. I instantly liked it as a soon as I saw it.”

– Bill Wheatley, art collector/ commentator.

“When I first met Heather and was introduced to her work and her strong confidence, I had goose bumps. Looking at Heather’s work, you can instantly tell she’s going to go far. Combining her heritage with a modern contemporary approach makes her work pure brilliance. I am eagerly waiting to get my hands on a new piece of her work to hang in my home!”
