Elizabeth Marks Nakamarra Born: 1959 Elizabeth Marks Nakamarra is known for her Escher-like paintings, which use one colour, with a contrasting lighter hue, on a black background. The straight lines are made up of dragged dots, and are drawn at ninety degrees to each other to build retreating and advancing line-tunnels. Michael Reid, in How to Buy and Sell Art (Allen and Unwin, 2004) identifies Elizabeth Marks Nakamarra as one of the contemporary indigenous artists to “watch out for” (page 79). Elizabeth was also named one of Australia’s “most collectable” in the January 2004 edition of the prestigious Australian Art Collector. |
