Paddy Bedford Paintings

Paddy Bedford, known commonly by his nicknames, Goowoomji and also his Gija name, Nyunkyny, was born at Bedford Down Station in East Kimberley. Bedford grew up in Bedford Downs, where he learned to work as a cattleman for the usual rations and tobacco. He was famous as a good-looking dancer and for being able to dodge spears in fights. In 2000, together with fellow artist, the late Timmy Timms, Bedford revealed the existence of a Joonba, a song and dance cycle telling the story of the Bedford Downs killings that had not previously been shown to outsiders. Bedford was a senior lawman and was involved in painting as part of the ceremony his whole life. He began painting on canvas for exhibition after Freddie Timms established the Hirwaun Aboriginal Art group at Rungun in 1997.

Acrylic, spraypaint, oilbar, oil on linen During the days of painting en plein air, Krieger describes how she began to dream about painting while sleeping, and thus turned those night visions into this series of night time paintings. In these, we see the landscape transformed into a dream-like setting. These surrealist imaginings of the natural world place Krieger’s paintings within a cohort of contemporary women painters reimagining the tradition of the landscape genre, such as Shara Hughes...
