Meet Tallebula

The collaboration between Gold Coast artists Kieran Chilcott and Hayley Ledden represents a unique and powerful merging of perspectives and meaning.

Kieran is a proud Aboriginal man who descends from the Yugarabul peoples of south-east Queensland. His artistic practice draws on his deep connection to his Aboriginal heritage, using traditional techniques, symbols and storylines to create works that explore the rich cultural history of his people.

Hayley is a contemporary artist whose work is a celebration of colour, energy, and joy. Her paintings invite viewers into a world of positivity and emotion. Through her use of dynamic colour palettes and playful forms, Hayley creates art that sparks happiness and inspires a sense of wonder. Her pieces are a reminder that beauty can be found in the simple, joyful moments of life.

 

Despite their different backgrounds and artistic practices, Kieran and Hayley were brought together by a shared passion for art and a desire to collaborate across cultural divides. Working together, Kieran and Hayley have created a range of artworks that draw on both of their practices. Their artworks are powerful and thought-provoking, and created in the genuine spirit of reconciliation.

Overall, the collaboration between Kieran Chilcott and Hayley Ledden is a powerful example of how art can bring people together, transcend cultural boundaries, and create new possibilities for understanding and connection.
