Two Fish

This painting depicts two fish commonly found in local billabongs and creeks around Beswick / Wugularr. Included is a black bream and a bogong or rainbow perch.

Visual style of this painting is very similar to Frankie Tango Lane as Travis is apprenticing under Tango’s tutelage. Tango painted the black fish shape, while Travis worked with a Jarlk brush to complete the Raark and further details.

Raark or fine line work has been completed using a handmade Jarlk reed brush harvested from local billabongs and wet areas. Raark is in Yirritja style and consists of three or four lines before alternating colour.

Name: Travis Seccin

Biography:

Travis is a dedicated guide for Djilpin Art's museum and on country tourism program. Having been "grown up" by senior elder, Djilpin Art's board member and custodian Frankie "Tango" Lane, Travis has been surrounded by art, artists and cultural knowledge from a younger age.

He has spent many an hour watching, helping and preparing work for Tango. Circa mid-2022 Travis decided to give artefact making a go first hand. Under Tango's tutelage he has learned to shape and tune Mako (didgeridoo), shape and paint clap-sticks as well as harvest bark.
