Frieze London, Sullivan + Strumpf | Kaye Brown

Sullivan + Strumpf present Kaye Brown at Frieze London 2026.

Brown’s work explores themes of being on Country on the Tiwi Islands – the sun, the stars, the sky and bush tucker.

First Nations artist Kaye Brown a senior Tiwi culture woman, who is well-versed in Tiwi culture, traditional stories and ‘hard’ Tiwi language. Prior to joining the Jilamara Arts and Crafts association, Brown taught at Milikpiti Primiary School and worked in the library. Rather than painting with a brush, Brown uses the kayimwagakimi, a traditional Tiwi painting ‘comb’ carved from ironwood.
