Artwork Description

The Jingeri Man was made one early morning during a long drawing and painting session in my studio in Southport, after a long day setting up a local Indigenous art exhibition. I had never heard the word Jingeri before that night. The next day I googled Jingeri which to my surprise was the local Yugambeh word for greetings or hello and "Jingeri Jingeri" is the Yugambeh word for “Willy Wagtail”.

Stephen R Baxter is an Australian multi-media artist, with a BA Honours degree in Fine Art. He lives and works from his home and studio in Southport, on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

“Making artwork for me is a bit like, the thrill of the chase. Just like life, sometimes it works and sometimes it fails. That’s the beauty of it. My failures are quite often my most successful developments in the end. One day I could be focussing on found shiny stainless steel and the next could be beautiful white porcelain and the next, thick buttery impasto paint. 😊.

The underlying research of Stephen’s working methodology is Bricolage. Structural anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss coined the term in 1962. Baxter explains “The Bricoleur, reconstructs, and reuses found and at hand materials and ideas to produce something new with new meanings and insights”.

Stephen’s artworks are held in both private and public collections in some states and territories of Australia. His artworks have been exhibited in and collected by people in many other countries, including, USA, France, Russia, Turkiye, Singapore, Fiji, Germany, and England.
