"The Aborigines believe the forest
 is the pathway to a new LIFE."

Lori Rebequ 1991


Lori's original interest in the Aborigines' innate bond with nature inspired her 1991 sellout Goldsmith's Fine Art Graduation Show.

It was re-ignited in 2006, by a chance meeting with a fellow advocate, who has sponsored the rediscovery of her unique method of "Action Painting": a term originally created to describe Jackson Pollock's early work, where the paint is poured and, in Lori's unique style, dribbled, and the canvas rotated.



Whilst Lori is able to influence the images through her choice of sequences, through differing mixes and differing dilutions of the oil-paint, (and the size and weave of the canvas), the final result is Nature's work.

Created by the viscous flow of paint, the force of gravity, the way the paint is distributed, and then absorbed by the canvas: the effects of rotation, and the ambient temperature of her Studio.

This makes a Rebequ Original genuinely original, as it can never be re-created.

Just as Nature intended.
