Sandon Gibbs-O’Neill
Contemporary Aboriginal Artist
-
Sandon Gibbs-O'Neill is a proud Nhunggabarra artist who lives on Wiradjuri Country in Orange. Sandons artwork explores the stories he has of his culture and the natural landscape surrounding him. His artwork is mainly acrylic on canvas and he hopes to educate, continue to learn about his culture and challenge stereotypes through creating art. Through his artworks Sandonuses intricate detail, colour and symbols inspired by the designs and stories passed down from the generations before him. His works encourage people to consider the knowledge, stories and history held within the land itself. In putting his stories onto canvas, Sandonhopes people are further driven to consider the rich knowledge and culture of the First Nations people of this land and how it impacts all of society.
