Artwork Description

My painting details the natural habitat; water holes and creeks that sustains wombat on his daily bushland adventures. The centre of my painting shows a mob of five wombats about to leave their burrows and travel the well worn trails between the water holes. The irregular spaces between the trails represent the land, wombats food, and areas where new protective burrows can be dug.

Artist Bio

Uncle Greg Matthews is a contemporary Tasmanian Aboriginal artist whose vibrant canvases and unique textile designs serve as tactile ambassadors of his culture, resilience, and reclamation. As a proud Stolen Generation survivor with deep roots to his Country in Noth West Tasmania; Uncle Greg utilises his art as a powerful medium for truth-telling, healing, and reconciliation. His deeply moving visual narratives transform a lifetime of profound personal history into rich, layered masterworks that celebrate an unshakeable connection to his Tasmanian heritage, Country, and ancestry. Uncle Greg’s highly sought-after fine art is held in private collections globally, spanning Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Known for his striking colourful works which offer collectors a rare, evocative window into the enduring strength and beauty of First Nations storytelling.
Uncle Greg pays respects to the traditional owners of the land upon which his Berwick studio is located; he acknowledges Aboriginal Elders past present and those who are emerging.
