This is the story my grandfather Simon Hogan paints about Lingka, near where he was born, and I am learning to paint it.
Isaac Lane is a young emerging artist from the Tjungu Palya art centre. Isaac was born in Kalgoorlie and moved to Kanpi in 2022 to live with his partner. Isaac started as an arts worker, stretching and preparing canvases for the other artists, but after seeing photos of his grandfather, Simon Hogan’s work in an art book, he was inspired to pick up a brush and give painting a go. He has quickly developed a bold, bright and experimental painting style.
