Het werk geeft een impressie van het gebied waaruit Billy Benn Perrurle afkomstig is, de Harts Range, 300 kilometer ten noordoosten van Alice Springs, de belangrijkste stad in het midden van Australië. Het schilderij wordt omschreven als 'een briljant en krachtig portret van de Harts Range, waarbij de onderscheidende vormen van het land uitdagend worden neergezet door een omhulsel van lyrische kleuren en expressionistische kwaststroken'.<BR> <BR> These new works illustrate Billy Benn Perrurle's mastery of the painting medium and his delight at embracing new directions. The expansion of the width of the painting frame has created new views of his country. 'Same country just looking through, not along' he says. We get a 'close up' view of the patina on rocks with his new vigourous impasto application; they make sense when we view of the patina on rocks with his new vigourous impasto application; they make sense when we see them against the hazy 'far off' panoramas. Billy is a skilled illusionist catching country with light and movement, placing the viewer into the depths of his dreaming. When asked how he does it he says 'I got power in my hands, I'm magic one' and then laughs.<BR> <BR> <BR> Bindi Inc.
