Pwerle Gallery

PWERLE, more than a Gallery. Celebrating Aboriginal culture through 4 generations of family artists. It is entrenchedin the contemporary Aboriginal art industry.

Pwerle Gallery is an Aboriginal, family owned company which was founded in 2015 by Jade Torres. A majority of the artists represented are family members from the Atnwengerrp community, which is located in the Utopia region of the Northern Territory. Jade is the Great Granddaughter to the late Minnie Pwerle and Granddaughter to the late Barbara Weir. Being surrounded by talented family members her

whole life, she naturally found her way into the art-world herself. Fast forward to 2022, Jade is proud to represent her cultural heritage with an exciting next generation of contemporary art. Pwerle Gallery is following the footsteps of Jade’s fathers business, DACOU (Dreaming Art Centre of Utopia). DACOU has been recognised as a leading supplier of quality Utopian artwork. Pwerle Gallery; like DACOU, showcases art pieces from four generations of family artists. Together the family have promoted Indigenous art in both traditional and modern forms. Among the 300 national and international exhibitions, their pieces have made their way onto the Sydney Opera House, collaborated with renowned brands like Mercedes Benz and Vogue, but more importantly have adorned the homes of loved clients and collectors. The talented family have proudly broken the record twice, in achieving the highest price paid for a painting by an Australian Aboriginal female artist, Emily Kame Kngwarreye. This achievement is outstanding for both the community and females in business. A percentage of every Pwerle Gallery sale goes directly to the Utopian community. Pwerle Gallery prides itself on representing the Aboriginal culture with complete honesty and integrity, while aiming to strengthen the presence of the culture on the international art stage.

A Story on Canvas 🍊
‘Bush Orange Dreaming’ by Lizzie Pwerle
This stunning piece is a reflection of Lizzie’s deep connection to her country, Atnwengerrp. Painted with meticulous precision, the flowing lines of fine dots represent the tangled branches of the Bush Orange plant—an important source of bush tucker for Aboriginal people.

Once abundant but now scarce due to overgrazing, the Bush Orange was a staple food, its soft, custard-like fruit eaten fresh or dried for later use. Through her artwork, Lizzie ensures the stories of her ancestors and the knowledge of the land continue to be shared.

This artwork is currently available for purchase, PG14011 — DM for details.
