Collection: ZANE SAUNDERS

A descendent of the Gunggari, Jarrowia and Butchulla people of Southern Queensland, Zane Saunders lives in Kuranda. His spirituality – Aboriginal people and the culture – are the basis of his work.

He grew up in Kuranda, home of the Djabuganydji people (Bama) of the rainforest area, connecting too with other indigenous family groups within the Cape York Peninsula Region. Zane is an interdisciplinary artist who has participated in solo and group shows. His visual arts output in painting and printmaking is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Northern Territory University Collection, Holmes a Court Collection, Flinders University Art Museum, Queensland Art Gallery, University of Queensland, Anthropology Museum, among other permanent collections.

Zane’s body of performance work has been presented in Australia and abroad, and courageously embraces installation, sculpture, and media to create challenging contemporary performance.

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
