• Notes:
  ‘Innovation and experimentation are fundamental to Paddy Bedford's practice as a contemporary artist. The appeal of his work to international audiences and contemporary art collectors worldwide rests in part on this sense of continuous innovation that resulted in a new exciting visual vocabulary that does not compromise Gija law and tradition and which resists comparison with modern Western art canons. His formal language, typified by a symbiosis between bold and powerful forms and an elegance and harmony in composition, evokes rock escarpments and other amorphous features of the Kimberley landscape.’ Petitjean, G., ‘Paddy Bedford’, Beyond Sacred; Aboriginal Art, The Laverty Collection, Deutscher and Hackett, Melbourne, 2014, p. 27
