About the art and the artist

The incredible artwork featured in our Reconciliation Action Plan 2021-2023 (also the banner image for this page) is by Noongar artist, Bradley Kickett.

Bradley is descended from the Kickett clan in York, Western Australia, and began his journey with painting in 2007. Bradley’s style of art is abstract with paintings depicted from an aerial view and illustrated in a fluid style. Bradley’s art pieces are influenced by experiencing Noongar country from the oceans to the rivers, seeing the wildflowers and the land from the air, and showing the flow and the shapes of the earth. These images are all interwoven with the history and the stories that are shared and passed down to him from his family and Elders.

In this video, Bradley speaks about his process and inspiration for this artwork.
