Installation view of a large black and white linocut print hung on a black wall.
‘Girelal’ by Alick Tipoti, of the Maluyligal people of Zenadh-Kes, Australia. At the time of its making in 2011, this 130 x 830cm linocut was believed to be the largest print ever produced from a single linoleum block onto a single sheet.

""Inspired by the writings of Sigmund Freud and Melbourne psychiatrist Reg Ellery, Nolan worked on a series of surrealist-inspired figures while stationed at Dimboola which powerfully channel a sense of war-time menace. Nostalgia for the sky and Farmer, Dimboola are from Nolan’s Dimboola sketchbook. These strange characters – an upward-gazing, feline-like devilish figure and local farmer whose features appear inverted by old age – reveal how Nolan created psychological, rather than specific, portraits of the people he encountered in the Wimmera. Nolan had previously used Dulux for painting, a household gloss paint based on a plastic medium called alkyd. When looking for paint in the local Dimboola hardware shop in 1942, Dulux was his first choice and used for the work in his notebook."" source: https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/artsets/e2ic90

"These were once joined together and I had Mrs Reardon and her baby still fleeing for their lives. It was once six feet by four, but late one night, Jack Bellew, a journalist, said, ‘Look Sid, that painting is too bloody big, cut it in two.’ I told him to leave it alone, but to prove it was not too big, I would cut it in two. You see I come from a long line of Irishmen. So I cut it and looked at them separated and together, and they looked better together. Unfortunately I parted them forever" Source: https://nga.gov.au/exhibitions/burning-at-glenrowan-by-sidney-nolan/

‘I find that a desire to paint the landscape involves a wish to hear more of the stories that take place within the landscape. Stories which may not only be heard in country towns and read in the journals of explorers, but which also persist in the memory, to find expression in such household sayings as ‘game as Ned Kelly’. From being interested in these stories it is a simple enough step to find that it is possible to combine two desires: to paint and to tell stories. The history of Ned Kelly possesses many advantages from this point of view. Most of us have heard of it, in one way or another, during our childhood, and it is still a topic of conversation in those parts of Victoria where the Kelly family lives. In its own way it can perhaps be called one of our Australian myths. It is a story arising out of the bush and ending in the bush. Whether or not the painting of such a story demands any comment on good and evil I do not know. There are doubtless as many good policemen as there are good bushrangers.’ Sidney Nolan' source:https://nga.gov.au/exhibitions/burning-at-glenrowan-by-sidney-nolan/

""This painting depicts Ned Kelly, fully clad in his armour, defending himself from behind a tree trunk punctured by large bullet holes. While Kelly’s head is facing the viewer, the barrel of his rifle is directed towards a figure, presumably one of the policemen who died at Stringybark Creek. The harsh, dense, brown bushland provides a theatrical backdrop and frames the two figures drawing attention to the violence, symbolised by the swathes of red paint. The sense of tension and drama is palpable in this work which Nolan painted on the same day as Kelly and Scanlon (1945) which also refers to events at Stringybark Creek."" source:https://www.cmag.com.au/collection/items/stringy-bark-creek/catalogue

‘In a sudden, violent accident, time seems to stand still. I have exaggerated; the bridle must have been long but that and the levitated horse and Constable increases the unreality of violent events.

"This is a story within the Kelly story; a double informer? Actually, the police were hidden in the caves. Sherritt had been a member of the gang and was now marrying into a family friendly with the Kellys. They were an Irish bunch and Sherritt had gone too far: ‘It’s a shame, but we will shoot him.’" source:https://www.geelonggallery.org.au/cms_uploads/docs/sidney-nolan-s-ned-kelly-series_national-gallery-of-australia-booklet--screen.pdf further reading - https://oa.anu.edu.au/obituary/sherritt-aaron-13571
