Harold Thomas
Harold Thomas is a classically trained indigenous artist who has lived in
the Top End of Australia for more than 35 years. He has a deep
love for the country and its wildlife and presents it in his unique and timeless
way, never showing the intrusion of modern times. His paintings resonate with
surreal, mystical light, his paint application vigorous and masterful,
techniques learnt through sound tuition in the 1960’s.
Harold was born in Alice Springs in 1947 (background Luritja/Wombia). He was
taken from his family and placed at St John’s Hostel. At the age of seven he was
sent to South Australia’s St Frances House, an Anglican institution for
Aboriginal boys. At the age of eleven he was fostered to a white family. At
school he excelled in sports and started to take a strong interest in painting.
After high school he won a scholarship to study at the South Australian School
of Art and later studied social anthropology ay the University of Adelaide.
During this time he became actively involved in the Aboriginal Civil Rights
movement and designed the Aboriginal Flag in 1971. The flag remains to this day
a strong and unifying symbol for Aboriginal rights and justice.
