Land of All 2007

Sally Gabori's 'Land of All' is like a visual songline, bursting with stories painted in bold colors and energetic gestures. Imagine Gabori, brush in hand, recalling the memories of her homeland, Bentinck Island. The island’s shape, its stories, its people, all flowing onto the canvas. The vibrant blues and oranges feel deeply intuitive, almost like a map of the soul. Each mark, each shape, pulses with life. See how those red dots cluster and spread? It's as if the painting breathes, expanding and contracting with Gabori’s memories. I wonder what she was thinking when she laid down that stroke of bright yellow? It’s not just paint, but a feeling, a moment, captured in color. Gabori, like other painters, teaches us that abstraction can be deeply personal, a way of seeing and feeling the world anew. We are all connected through painting.
