DR CHRISTIAN THOMPSON AO 1978- HEAT, 2010 three channel HD video installation, ed 5/5 5 minutes 52 secs PROVENANCE Chalk Horse, NSW Private Collection, WA Artwork presented in a folio with accompanying certificate of authenticity from Chalk Horse signed by Christian Thompson EXHIBITED Heat, Christian Thompson, Chalk Horse, Sydney NSW, 23 September - 8 October 2010 Contemporary Indigenous Art in Australia, IVAM, Institut Valencià d'Art Modern, Spain, 31 January - 16 April 2012 unDISCLOSED: 2nd National Indigenous Art Triennial, The National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, AC, 11 May - 22 July 2012 Dr. Christian Thompson AO, a Bidjara man of the Kunja Nation from Central West Queensland with European heritage, is known for his interdisciplinary approach that fuses personal, cultural, and environmental themes. His practice is deeply rooted in his connection to his people, land, and cultural heritage, shaped by his experiences as an Aboriginal artist growing up in urban Australia during the 1980s and 1990s. Thompson's work is often an exploration of identity, expressed through performative gestures where he inhabits various personas using simple costumes and meticulously arranged settings. This piece is a fine example of an Australian Aboriginal artwork.

Christian Thompson - Untitled 7 (Pink Kangaroo Paw), ed. 6/10, 2008
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
Dr. Christian Thompson's "Untitled 7 (Pink Kangaroo Paw)" belongs to his celebrated Australian graffiti series. Prior to his departure from Australia to Europe, Thompson created this series to reflect fond memories of growing up in the outback with its desert flowers, which he perceives as delicate yet powerful. In this artwork, Thompson combines the native flora with flamboyant clothes that were popular during his youth, highlighting the contrast between his Bidjara masculinity and the vibrant elements. By donning the garlands of native flowers, Thompson represents not only himself but also the landscape, invoking an Indigenous perspective of the land as a living and corporeal ancestral being.
