Tonight marked the opening of the Revealed Aboriginal Art Exhibition at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Kohan from Imaged by KoBo has been selected as one of just 100 artists from over 270 submissions — an outstanding achievement that reflects his dedication, talent, and hard work throughout his artistic journey.

The exhibition is open until Sunday, 14th June, so there’s plenty of time to experience the incredible work on display. If you’re in Perth, make sure you stop by and support these talented artists.

As Kohan proudly said — he wants the whole of Perth to see!
