Daniel Boyd - Treasure Island
This important exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales gives Kudjla/Gangalu man Daniel Boyd a platform from which to showcase his career of almost 20 years.
‘Treasure Island’ is the artist’s first major exhibition to be held in an Australian public institution. Featuring more than 80 works, the work represents the ways in which Boyd holds a lens to colonial history and explores the idea of blackness as a form of First Nations’ resistance.
Boyd has developed his own signature techniques, often concealing the images by using a series of stencilled dots or presenting images so they appear to be hidden in mist.
