Talking About Abstraction is premised on the belief that Aboriginal painting assumes an authoritative influence on the practice of many non-Indigenous artists. It is primarily not a relationship of shared concerns, but of formal and technical intersections. A generation after Aboriginal art was first revealed to the wider world, its influence continues to become more profound, particularly on this (and in all likelihood the next) generation of artists, exposed in their formative years to the recent innovations that now define this most ancient of cultures.
