Regina Wilson – Country Style 2025

Award-winning painter, master weaver and living legend Regina Pilawuk Wilson will present a sublime suite of colour-soaked paintings as part of our Heirloom exhibition.

Born in the Daly River region in the Northern Territory, Wilson co-founded the Peppimenarti community in 1973 as a permanent settlement for the Ngan’gikurrungurr people, establishing a vital cultural hub where a new generation has now taken up the creative mantle – represented in our show by Wilson’s grandson, emerging artist Hayden Wilson.

Since winning the top honour at the most prestigious prize dedicated to Australian First Nations art, the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards, Regina Pilawuk Wilson’s elegantly structured paintings have fixed her name on the global art contemporary art map.

Her practice remains deeply connected to her family’s artistic heritage, reinterpreting and carrying forward the fibre art traditions of her birthplace with spellbinding paintings that see delicate line work unspool with rhythmic reverberations.
