Artist Information
Dinny Kemarre Kunoth carves naïve figures of desert animals, camp dogs and birds. Bursting with colour and humour, each piece is created unique from the native bean tree.
There is a sculptural tradition in central Australia that has deep roots across many generations. Historically these carvings were implements for hunting, food gathering and ceremony Dinny tells stories of his father sculpting, and his wife Josie Pitjara and son Alan are also actively involved in the work. Today Dinny Kemarre Kuoth carves the animals and birds of his surrounds at Utopia. His sculptures and paintings have been exhibited nationally.
Exhibitions celebrating these paintings have been held in exhibitions in Melbourne and at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
