The Rock Art Paintings of the Australian Kimberley

Leif Thiele Gallery 2010

The Bradshaw Foundation was approached in September 2009 by Leif Thiele, who is currently working and travelling in the Kimberley region of Australia, with some spectacular and undocumented Bradshaw paintings. Leif had discovered the rock art paintings during his explorations, and agreed to help create a new section of Bradshaw paintings. We agreed not to disclose the exact locations. In my opinion, these are some of the finest examples of the Bradshaw or Gwion Gwion paintings.
