LYNDON DAVIS is an indigenous artist raised on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland and is a direct descendant of the local Gubbi Gubbi people traditional custodians. Raised by his Grandmother Lyndon feels blessed to have learnt the stories of the old people from her. His artwork is a reflection of these stories and his close connections with the fauna, flora and landscapes of his homelands.
His work has been exhibited at local exhibitions and in Europe and South America. It is held in many private collections.
- 2005 was commissioned by Ford America; this painting was auctioned for tsunami victims.
- 2006 had work published in Gatherings II book (A collection of work by Indigenous Queensland artists.)
-
2006 was commissioned by Queensland Health; Painting is displayed in Nambour Hospital.
Recently Lyndon is working on new concept for his work. He has been researching traditional shield designs and art techniques from South East Queensland and incorporating this style into his art in a contemporary form.
"The dot art of the desert and the cross hatching from the top end are well recognized styles of Aboriginal art, however little is known about the art from here in South East Queensland. Our art was very bold and I am trying to revive some of these old styles and celebrate them in my art today."
