UnderArt Gallery Cairns, Queensland, Australia
“unconventional, flamboyant, tactile works of art
They say there are many different levels of artistic expression… and it seems without doubt self taught Cairns-based artist, iefje Boissevain has embodied dozens of these in her diverse and unique collections.
Within her collections you can see quite a diversity of colour, texture, application and mood in each painting.
It's as though they are the creations of several talented artists. Each painting is linked through instinct and an intuitive process by this self taught artist.
Iefje’s art is about living life – passion, experimentation and the power of being uninhibited in creativity.
Iefje is no stranger to the art world- for the past twelve years she has been selling her unique works, all which generally embody the spirit of abstract urban living.
Bold, sophisticated and chic……….
The result is not only outstandingly different and intensely appealing but it is a work of art that tells a myriad of stories and fits snugly into the subtext of a dozen emotions, like it was designed with those in mind.
Iefje has had several solo exhibitions in the past, she's sold work everywhere from the Netherlands, Monaco, United States, Japan, Hong Kong, Austria, Italy to name a few and of course many collections throughout Australia.
Her ability to design and create individual commission works, have to date always been effectively fulfilled to suit many diverse requests. Many of her clients have collected several of her works and are continuing to do so.

Banduk Marika — Djanda and the Sacred Waterhole.
Flinders University Art Museum Director Fiona Salmon talks to Yolŋu artist Banduk Marika about her work, Djanda and sacred waterhole.
Yolŋu artist Marmburra Wananumba Banduk Marika has dedicated her career to the development, recognition and preservation of Aboriginal art and culture.
Since the death of her father and brother, both established and renowned artists, Banduk and her sisters have maintained the artistic and cultural traditions of the Rirratjiŋu clan. They were among the first Yolŋu women urged to paint by their male kin to carry on this important work. From this experience Banduk emerged, not only as a successful artist, but also a respected activist, educator and community leader.
Favouring relief printmaking over bark painting, a prevalent medium in her community, Banduk translates her ancestral stories and knowledge through intricately carved lines, figures and motifs. In 1986 she was Artist-in-Residence at Flinders University, where she produced a number of linocuts that relate to the Rirratjiŋu ancestral site known as Yalaŋbara.
Yalaŋbara, or Port Bradshaw, is located south of Yirrkala in north-east Arnhem Land and is considered by the Yolŋu to be the original place of human creation. The crystal clear waters and towering sand dunes of the peninsula belong collectively to the Rirratjungu clan, but Banduk and her relatives hold special custodial responsibilities for the site.
The Yolŋu believe the Djan’kawu were guided to Yalaŋbara by the light of the morning star and ocean currents as they travelled from Burralku, the so-called Isle of the Dead. When they arrived at Yalaŋbara, the rising sun marked the beginning of Yolŋu life. From here the Djan’kawu brother and his two sisters began their great creation journey. As they travelled across north-east Arnhem Land the sisters gave birth to the clans of the Dhuwa moiety and bestowed on them their cultural customs, language and sacred objects.
This exhibition, titled Banduk Marika: Yalaŋbara, highlights Banduk’s spiritual connection to her Country and the ongoing importance of the Yalaŋbara ancestral site to the Rirratjiŋu people. It also celebrates the honorary doctorate awarded by Flinders University in April 2018, in recognition of her remarkable contributions as a First Nations artist and cultural advocate for the Yolŋu people.
