Jason Lockyer is a recognised Traditional Owner of the Robe River Kuruma language group, located in the Pilbara and Ashburton region of Western Australia. Jason’s work is deeply rooted in the rich stories, spirituality, and cultural traditions of the land – through bold, expressive imagery and vibrant colours that explore themes of connection, heritage, and the ongoing relationship between the people and the Country.
Jason’s art often features symbolic elements such as figures, campfires, hills, rivers and swirling natural patterns, which represent ancestral spirits, community gatherings, and the flows of life and energy that sustain his culture. With an emphasis on storytelling and cultural significance Jason creates visual narratives that honours and carry the wisdom of generations.
Jason invites viewers to reflect on the deep bonds shared with the land, the spirit world, and community, emphasising unity, resilience, and respect for ancestral traditions. Jason’s art celebrates the living connection to Country and the stories that shape the identity of his people.
