Before his untimely death at 47, Onus had become a prominent and vocal, though non-confrontational, force in re-examining Australia’s colonial and First Nations history. His father, Bill Onus, founded the Aboriginal Advancement League in Victoria and was a leading figure in Melbourne's Indigenous art scene. As a young Koori man, Lin Onus was immersed in an environment rich with cultural exchange, meeting significant figures like Albert Namatjira. Onus began his artistic journey assisting his father in decorating artefacts, honing his skills as a panel beater and painter using airbrush techniques. By 1974, he had turned to painting photorealistic landscapes and watercolours. His early work in the 1970s included a series of paintings on Mosquito, an Aboriginal guerrilla fighter, which remain proudly displayed at the Advancement League in Melbourne. By the early 1980s, Onus had emerged as a key advocate for the Aboriginal arts movement, playing a pivotal role in the formation of the Aboriginal Arts Board of the Australia Council. Despite representation by prominent galleries, his artistic career only truly flourished after a visit to Maningrida in Arnhem Land in 1986. That visit marked a profound shift in both his outlook and his artistic practice. Accepted as kin by cultural custodians Jack Wunuwun and John Bullun Bulun, Onus was given permission to incorporate clan designs and stories into his work, enabling him to develop the unique visual language that would define his later career. His art, described as a “post-modern Bowerbird Dreaming,” (Nicholls 2001:536) melded Western and Aboriginal ways of organizing space and vision, often embedding traditional motifs with subtlety into photorealistic landscapes. Critics noted how Onus’s work disrupted the traditional understanding of landscape art. As Radon remarked, “landscape art is no longer an unconscious carrier of myths of domination... [but] demands the artist deconstruct these approaches and display an awareness of history and ideology.” (Radon 1997:16) Onus’s works invite viewers to look beyond the visible surface to access a Dreaming reality, a deeper dimension that is accessible to all who open their minds. His 1991 installation Fruit Bats, shown at the Australian Perspecta, featured a Hills Hoist adorned with fiberglass bats painted in ceremonial Arnhem Land crosshatch designs. His paintings of the Barmah Forest, near his Yorta Yorta homeland, often include crosshatched fish beneath the water’s surface or, in one case, a jigsaw puzzle piece that fails to fit— a metaphor for the damage done to the Murray River ecosystem. A gifted communicator, Onus understood the desire among non-Indigenous audiences to grasp the concept of the Dreaming. However, his art extended beyond post-colonial commentary, providing an alternative vision of history. In his 1985 work Kapt’n Koori, he created an Indigenous superhero for his son, Tiriki. In 1988, he painted discarded beer cans littering the dry surface of an Aboriginal homeland, a striking comment on the erosion of culture. Onus’s humour, described as “a postmodernism without tears,” was evident in his unapologetic appropriation of both Aboriginal and Western iconography. He deftly navigated debates on authenticity in Aboriginal art, countering criticisms with the argument that Aboriginal art, like any artistic tradition, should not be seen as static. In Language and Lasers, he refuted the notion that Aboriginal art should remain untouched by external influences, pointing out that Western art, too, evolved through a blend of traditions and innovations. While some in the art world questioned his blending of traditional and contemporary elements, Onus was embraced by the Aboriginal community he was initiated into, with the Wunuwun family eager to help him find his path. Onus’s manual dexterity and innovative spirit were evident in his use of new materials like fibreglass and silicone, along with his creation of time-saving tools such as Rarrk stamps and dotting machines. His work sought to challenge the notion that technological advances would erode Indigenous culture. On the contrary, he argued, technology—such as the widespread use of four-wheel-drive vehicles—had enhanced ceremonial activities. Beyond his role as an artist, Onus was an influential figure in the broader arts community, serving as the chair of the Aboriginal Arts Board and as a founding member of the artist copyright agency, “Viscopy.” He was a sought-after speaker, representing First Nations artists at prestigious gatherings, including the National Press Club. Ultimately, Lin Onus’s work transcended the political and the aesthetic, forever altering perceptions of Aboriginal art. As Christine Nicholls noted, his efforts “put urban Aboriginal art onto the cultural map in Australia.” His legacy was cemented with the retrospective exhibition Urban Dingo: The Art of Lin Onus 1948-1996, part of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Arts Festival. Developed before his passing, the exhibition celebrated his remarkable career, brought to completion with the support of his family.

(C) Market Analysis MARKET ANALYSIS Analysing the auction results for Lin Onus's works fin the recent decade, rom 2015 to 2024 reveals strong performance with some minor fluctuations in both the total value of sales and the clearance rates, which reflect the percentage of works sold at auction. Overall, the period highlights Onus’s market strength, particularly during peak years like 2021 and 2022, and demonstrates resilience even through periods of lower sales, with strong sales evident in 2024. In 2015, Onus saw a strong performance with a clearance rate of 79%, as 11 of 14 works sold, generating A$1,307,617. However, in 2016, the market dipped, with only 10 works offered and a clearance rate of 70% amounting to A$272,172. The following year, 2017, witnessed a rebound, achieving a clearance rate of 69% and generating A$908,711 in total sales. The market for Onus's works surged in 2018, with a higher clearance rate of 81%, as 13 of 16 works sold, contributing to an impressive total of A$1,969,694. This strong demand persisted into 2019, though with a lower clearance rate of 75%, with 6 of 8 works sold, but the total sales value still reached A$1,121,077, indicating the value of individual pieces. In 2020, Onus achieved a perfect 100% clearance rate, as all 8 works offered were sold, generating A$684,758 in total sales, demonstrating strong and consistent demand for his art even in a quieter year. In 2021, the market hit a peak with a clearance rate of 90%, as 19 of 21 works sold for a remarkable A$2,143,112, marking the highest sales value of the decade. This upward trajectory continued in 2022, with a clearance rate of 93%, as 28 of 30 works sold for A$2,354,987, establishing Onus as one of the top-selling artists in the Australian art market. However, in 2023, the clearance rate dropped significantly to 56%, with mostly prints and works on paper offered resulting in a much lower total of A$499,920. By 2024, the market showed signs of recovery, with a clearance rate of 86%, as 12 of 14 works sold for A$1,478,892, indicating renewed interest in Onus’s work and a rebound from the previous year’s downturn. Lin Onus passed away at only 47 just as he was preparing for his debut exhibition with Australian Galleries, having recently parted ways with his previous representative, Gabrielle Pizzi. Though he had established himself as a key figure in the indigenous art community, his career had slowed during the early 1980s. It wasn’t until the late 1980s that his career regained momentum, largely due to his participation in important exhibitions like Aboriginal Art: The Continuing Tradition at the National Gallery of Australia in 1989 and A Myriad of Dreaming: Twentieth Century Aboriginal Art in 1990. From there, a series of exhibitions in major international venues, including Glasgow, Düsseldorf, London, and Denmark, solidified his growing global reputation by the mid-1990s. At the time of his death in 1996, few of Onus’s works had been auctioned, with major paintings selling for less than $10,000. Yet, as his artistic legacy grew, so did the market value of his works, particularly his large canvases featuring his distinctive blend of photorealism and Aboriginal iconography. In the years following his death, Onus’s market value climbed rapidly. By 1999, Barmah Forest (182.5 x 182.5 cm) sold for $57,500 at Christie’s Melbourne, far exceeding its pre-sale estimate. In 2006, his large-scale Water Lillies and Evening Reflections, Dingo Springs achieved $396,000 at Deutscher~Menzies. The upward trend continued in 2013 when Robyn (1995) set a new record, selling for $414,800. In 2017, Riddle of the Koi (1994) fetched $561,200 at Deutscher & Hackett, and in 2019, Fish and Storm Clouds (1994), which had sold for $288,000 in 2007, reappeared at Menzies and sold for $515,454, underscoring the consistent appreciation of his major works. Recent results from 2024 confirm this ongoing demand. In April, Yellow Lilies (1993), a synthetic polymer on canvas measuring 182 x 182 cm, sold for A$552,273 at Deutscher and Hackett’s Important Australian + International Fine Art auction in Melbourne, surpassing its $350,000-$450,000 estimate. Similarly, The Joy of Fish - The Ripple (1994), a large 182.5 x 182.5 cm canvas, sold at Menzies’ Important Australian & International Art auction in June for A$392,727, slightly below its estimate of $350,000-$450,000. Another notable sale from this year, Wirrirr Wirrirr (Rainbow Birds), a four-panel synthetic polymer work, fetched A$331,364 at Smith & Singer's Important Australian Art auction in Sydney, comfortably above its pre-sale estimate. Onus’s smaller works, including prints and paintings on board, continue to perform well but at more modest price points. In August 2024, Butterflies and Rocks (1993) and Butterflies and Flowers (1993), both synthetic polymer pieces on board, each sold for A$39,886 at Smith & Singer’s Important Australian Art auction, slightly under their $35,000-$45,000 estimates. Lin Onus’s art has continued to gain recognition for its distinctive combination of Aboriginal and Western influences, and his market reflects the growing demand for these works. His large canvases, which once sold for under $10,000, now regularly fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars, with the likelihood of surpassing $1 million soon. His appeal remains strong among collectors, both for his breathtaking landscapes and his politically charged social commentary pieces, many of which are still to be tested at auction. The trajectory of his market performance, especially in 2024, shows that his legacy as a trailblazer in Aboriginal art is secure, and the value of his works is expected to rise further.

  • Tracey Moffatt | Up in the Sky - Art Leven

    Tracey Moffatt | Up in the Sky Art Redfern - 17 Thurlow St, Redfern Gadigal, NSW 2016 3 - 24 May 2025 Viewing Room Tracey Moffatt | Up in the Sky Tracey Moffatt 3 - 24 May 2025 Art Redfern - 17 Thurlow St, Redfern Gadigal, NSW 2016 Tracey Moffatt’s 1997 series Up in the Sky, is a haunting photographic set of 25 monochrome images that evoke the cinematic stills of a non-linear narrative set in a remote country town marked by hardship and social marginalisation. Through recurring figures—a young non-Indigenous woman and an Indigenous infant, the series subtly references the continents fraught history of assimilation policies and the forced separation of First Nations families, without offering definitive interpretations. Moffatt, known for crafting rather than capturing images, blends personal memory with cultural and cinematic references, drawing from both local iconography, desolate roads, fibro housing, mission churches, and international influences such as Pasolini’s Accattone and the dystopian landscape of Mad Max. The result is a powerful, symbolic meditation on identity, loss, and resilience within the broader context of our postcolonial realities.

The collector is quoted as saying “There has to be a rapport with each work I buy; each speaks to me and means something to me, but I can’t define what that is with precision.” He believes that works of art must invoke an involuntary and immediate physiological and emotional response. The show is on display through the windowed and ever-lit facade of our Redfern gallery, as well as virtually via social media, email, and our website. If you are lucky enough to live in our 5 km radius, we are regularly rotating the artworks in the front and are more than happy to privately feature a work of your choosing for a contactless viewing.

  • BLACK ART WHITE WALLS - Art Leven

    BLACK ART WHITE WALLS From 01 January to 28 February 2016 Viewing Room BLACK ART WHITE WALLS From 01 January to 28 February 2016 "The Adrian and Anne Newstead Indigenous Art Collection This exhibition draws on the extensive personal collection of Indigenous art accumulated by Adrian and Anne Newstead while working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists over the past 30 years. Adrian Newstead is a dealer, writer and consultant. He and Anne own the oldest Aboriginal art gallery in Australia." "[[20160630111124|left,no,,landscape]] Adrian and Anne began their involvement with the creation and subsequent bloom/boom of the Aboriginal art market in 1980. Their art collection is an intimate one, built through personal relationships, serendipity, and a keen sense of historical and cultural importance. It is a platform by which a different narrative can be told: that of art as an expression of relationships, culture, spirituality, the land and kinship. The Newstead Collection comprises more than 1000 canvas paintings, barks, artefacts, prints, posters and sculptures. It represents a linear history of Aboriginal art and craft from the earliest days of the movement, through to the establishment of the first art centres and, beyond this, into the mainstreaming of Aboriginal art and its national and international acceptance as a dynamic contemporary art movement. There is a strong emphasis on printmaking as Adrian Newstead was instrumental in initiating this medium amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. He published hundreds of limited editions, as well as organising and promoting Australian Indigenous prints on the international stage. This exhibition includes rare examples of early prints, as well as those by several of indigenous Australias most important printmakers. During Adrian and Anne Newsteads 30-year involvement, black art has moved inexorably onto white walls, subtly affecting the many millions of people who have come to live with and love it. Many would say that the Aboriginal art movement has been the single most effective vehicle in advancing understanding, empathy and reconciliation between black and white Australia. Viewing this beautiful show and reading the meanings of the works, and the circumstances under which they were collected, reveals the story of a very personal journey deep into the culture of Australias oldest inhabitants.

READ FULL ARTIST PROFILE top Anchor 1 PROFILE Andrea Adamson 1973 - 2019 BORN: Amata, SA LANGUAGE GROUP: Pitjantjatjara COMMUNITY: Amata, SA Andrea Adamson Tiger was born in 1973 in Amata, located on the APY Lands of South Australia, 480 km southwest of Alice Springs. Her parents were Tony and Kukika Adamson. Andrea passed away suddenly in 2019 at the age of 46. During her youth, Andrea lived in Alice Springs, attending Yirara College and spending part of her schooling in Woodville, South Australia. After her schooling, she began working at Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock) as a guide. Here, she shared her knowledge about the local flora, fauna, and customs with visitors, taking great pride in her heritage. Andrea was deeply connected to the traditional customs of the Anangu people. She actively participated in ancient ceremonies where women would create body paint from ground ochre mixed with water or kangaroo oil. This paint was applied for ceremonies that included songs and dances to narrate important ancestral stories. Her artwork vividly narrates the tale of the seven sisters and their journey across the land, evading the advances of Wati Nyiru. Despite their incompatible 'skin names', Nyiru fell in love with the sisters and pursued them as they sculpted the landscape with rockholes, sandhills, and rocky outcrops to elude him. Eventually, they created a rockhole that allowed them to escape underground and re-emerge to ascend into the sky. Nyiru, following them into the water, emerged too late and continues to chase them across the heavens, visible from the south of the seven sisters.
