Zaachariaha Fielding

Well known in Australia and abroad as one half of electronic music duo ‘Electric Fields’, Zaachariaha Fielding comes from a strong family lineage of artists and storytellers. His energetic and visceral paintings exist as contemporary works whilst acknowledging and honoring the visual language of his culture.

Born in Port Augusta (1991), Fielding moved back to the community of Mimili, the ancestral country of his grandfather in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in 1998, a move that would be imperative to the artists creative practice. Fielding’s paintings are embedded with iconography that acknowledge and pay respect to tradition, Aṉangu culture and his inherited Tjukurpa (ancestral knowledge and law).

Currently based in South Australia, Fielding’s work has been recognized in major art awards, most notably as Winner of The Wynne Prize (2023), finalist in the Ramsay Art Prize at Art Gallery of South Australia (2021) and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards at Museum and Art Gallery of Northern Territory (2021).
