This prominent, inner-west gallery specialises in both indigenous and non-indigenous contemporary Australian art. As the former area has been racked with controversy, it is reassuring to note that Utopia places emphasis upon the ethical representation of Aboriginal artists and the importance of authenticity, authorship and provenance. The owner has strong links with the Papunya Tula Artists (located west of Alice Springs) and acts as their Sydney representative. He also exhibits other major Aboriginal artists such as Gloria Petyarre, Turkey Tolson and Makinti Napanangka and was closely associated with the now deceased Emily Kame Kngwarreye.
