Biography
Painter and lino-cut printer Matatia Andrew Warrior of the Parai tribe in the Torres Strait was born in 1979. His works talk of many aspects of Torres Strait Islander culture including myths, legends, the sea and daily life. Warrior’s lino-cuts were exhibited as part of the 2001 “Gatherings, Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art from Queensland, Australia” exhibition in Queensland. He is quoted in the catalogue as saying that he has realised “the importance of my culture. Now I want to teach everything I know and was taught by my elders to our younger generation and to expose my culture to the world so that other races know we exist and how we are special and unique in our own way.” This entry is a stub.
