Just been looking at some artists from the Torres Strait Islands region online and found some interesting artists/ sculptures. In particular I found works by Ken Thaiday whose work is made from various materials. From looking at the work from the Managerie exhibition, it is similar and uses intricate elements to create abstract representations of animals. Overall I find that the Torres Strait Islands arts are much more detailed and use commonly 2 colours and show the whole figure of the animals they are drawing. Below are some paintings by recent artists which show the attention to detail on the linen artworks.
