    Jandamarra Cadd – Master Artist – Bridging the Divide

    Jandamarra is an Australian Aboriginal Artist of Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Warung descent with a strong desire to bridge the gap between Aboriginal and mainstream Australia.

    In his work Jandamarra brings together a beautiful synergy between his distinctive contemporary portraiture style and traditional aboriginal painting techniques. He expresses himself through story-telling in bright, bold and emotive subjects where he successfully portrays the human condition like no other.

    Art is very much a part of who Janmandarra Cadd is and proved to be an important factor in overcoming challenges during his early life, helping to hold his world together when it threatened to fall apart during his youth.

    In this interview Cindy Wider asks Jandamarra about his life, work and sources of inspiration for his unique and emotive painting style.
