Buried lines and bold beginnings

Timothy Akis, born around 1944 in Tsembaga village, Madang, is recognized as a pioneer of contemporary art in Papua New Guinea. His 1969 solo exhibition at the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) is considered the country's first Western-style show by a Papua New Guinean artist, catalyzing a modern art movement. Akis developed a distinctive drawing style using ballpoint, felt pen, and ink, depicting highlands creatures like cassowaries and flying foxes. His work inspired younger artists, notably Mathias Kauage, who became PNG's most internationally visible contemporary painter after seeing Akis's exhibition. Akis's career included exhibitions in Australia, Europe, and the United States, and his works are held by institutions such as the National Gallery of Australia and the Queensland Art Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art.
