When ARTBreakOUT co-founder Bonnie Astor visited Australia this past spring, she encountered an intriguing array of artworks and met several of their artisans. Featured above is the self-taught, aboriginal artist Harold Bowen with his work “Rainbow.” Several more images captured by Bonnie on her recent adventure follow:

Singaporean/Australian sculptor Nabilah Nordin, one of her experimental sculptures
Another “spontaneous, edgey” sculpture crafted by the hugely imaginative Nabilah Nordin

The young Mornington Island State School aboriginal student, Rasheeda, whose work tells the story of “a river flowing through her land and the birth of trees.”
