I believed that most of people who visited Art Gallery of new south wales, fruit bats catch 

their eyes straightway, 99 of 16-inches fiberglass figures hanging from a spidery, umbrella-

shaped clothesline. As I approach, I realize that they’re flying foxes—big-eyed, pointy-eared 

fruit bats of the type I’ve seen fluttering overhead in the evening. I happen to love bats, and 

these particular sculptures are stunning in their stylization. From behind wings decorated 

with crosshatches, a pattern called rarrk in indigenous art. Lin Onus developed a distinctive 

visual language from a combination of traditional and contemporary Aboriginal imagery. The 

important that I liked and impressed by this artwork was that in this artwork the artist shows 

different between two culture and the contrast between values.
