Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed certificate of authenticity.

The Gecko (Murtoa) is a small adaptable lizard, with the ability to camouflage itself to suit its varying surroundings. Should a Gecko lose its tail in a fight or an attack, it can regrow its tail. Although it is only a small lizard, the Gecko can survive in very harsh conditions. All these attributes contribute to the Geckos survival.
Murtoa (Gecko) Dreaming represents adaptability, regeneration, strength, and survival. Its lesson to us is to make the best of a situation. In order to survive, one needs to be able to adapt, regenerate strength and go on, like the Gecko.

Embracing Indigenous creativity is paramount in exploring Aboriginal art. To create this artwork, the artist meticulously selected vibrant colors to bring forth a dynamic visual experience. They incorporated layers of mixed media and Liquitex Soft Gel to enhance the overall aesthetic of the piece. The application of Liquitex Soft Gel served multiple purposes: it not only increased surface gloss, color depth, and transparency but also extended the color's reach without compromising the acrylic's stability. Moreover, it imparted an oil-like color to heavy body paint, enriching the texture and finish of the artwork.Experience the Colorful Visions of Ancient Australia. This is a colourful and textured painting of a gecko on canvas. The gecko is a symbol of resilience, adaptability, and survival in Aboriginal culture. I can see how this piece would be a cherished part of someone's home, not just for its beauty but also for the story it tells.
