Exhibition Dates: 26 October 2025 – 31 May 2026
Imants Tillers presents ‘Fierce Paradise,’ a major retrospective exhibition of works spanning five decades, including a number of collaborative works with Warlpiri Elder Michael Nelson Jagamara AM.
Co-curated by Museum director, Hubert Sawatzki and Isidore Tillers, the exhibition highlights Tillers’ ongoing exploration of identity, displacement and locality, as well as his longstanding interest in Australian Aboriginal Art and its possible connections to his own experience as a member of the Latvian Diaspora.
’Fierce Paradise’ will include a selection of paintings by Indigenous artists from the personal collection of the Tillers family including works from Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Michael Nelson Jagamara, Sue Elliott and Peter Pijaju Skipper and Sam Tjapanangka. Tillers has also created several new works specifically for the exhibition.
