About Jonathan Kumintjarra Brown
Jonathan Brown, an Australian aboriginal artist, first came to recognition when he worked with Lin Onus for the 1990 exhibition 'Balance' at the Queensland Art Gallery. His later paintings are heavily influenced by the Atomic tests at Maralinga in the 1950s, which has made much of his homeland inaccessible.
