NEW ARRIVAL

Ningura Napurrula Gibson | Women's Ceremony | 43cm x 73.5cm | Ref:NNG514

There is a rhythm in this one that is hard to look away from. Cream lines run the full height of the canvas in dense parallel bands, folding back on themselves in long sweeping curves, with deep black forms scattered down both sides and a bold red ground burning through the gaps. It is the ceremonial design language of Pintupi women, and Ningura painted it with real physical weight, layer over layer.

She was one of the great senior women of Papunya Tula, the only Western Desert woman chosen to paint the ceiling of the Musée du quai Branly in Paris, and her work sits in the National Gallery of Australia and every major state gallery.

Signed by the artist and sold with our gallery certificate of authenticity.

NEW ARRIVAL
Polly Nelson Nangala | Bush Plum | 149.5 x 86 cm | Ref:PN512

Every so often a canvas arrives that stops us in the doorway, and this is one. Polly has worked yellow ochre, pink and fuchsia through cream and white, dot laid over dot on a black ground built up in layer after layer. Stand close and it is fruit, seed and flower. Step back and the black keeps pulling through and the whole surface shimmers like country under heat. Signed by Polly and sold with our gallery certificate of authenticity.

NEW ARRIVAL
Rosemary Pitjara Petyarre | Bush Medicine Leaves | 89 x 72 cm | Ref:RP511

This one stopped us in our tracks. Leaves in teal, violet and hot pink move right across a deep black ground, layer over layer, so the whole canvas feels like it is drifting. The purple is iridescent, and as you walk past the painting the colour lifts and shifts with you, cool one moment and warm the next. Up close you can see every stroke laid down with a loaded brush, the pink catching the light along the edges. Rosemary has signed the back and it comes with our gallery certificate of authenticity.

NEW ARRIVAL
Violet Petyarre (Pitjara) | Arnkerrthe (Mountain Devil Lizard) | 120cm x 118cm | Ref:VP510

Stop and look at this one for a moment and the whole surface starts to move. Violet has built it from hundreds of curved strokes in deep ochre red, warm gold and soft peach, layered ring upon ring across black linen until the pattern turns like the markings on the back of the Mountain Devil Lizard she is custodian of. It is her largest work with us and close to square, so it will hold a wall beautifully either way you hang it. Signed by Violet and sold with our gallery certificate of authenticity.

Betty Mbitjana | Awelye | 109.5cm x 149cm | Ref: BM509

We're so pleased to share this large-scale Awelye from Betty Mbitjana, purchased directly from Betty. Alive with the fluid curves and layered colour passed down to her directly from her mother, Minnie Pwerle, the linework moves across the canvas with real energy, built up in rich, vibrant tones that shift as the light changes across the room. Signed by Betty, and sold with our gallery certificate of authenticity.

NEW ARRIVAL
Lily Kelly Napangardi | Tali (Sand Hills) | 100cm x 81.5cm | Ref:LKN508

Look down on this one and the whole country opens up beneath you. Lily paints the Tali, the sand hills of her ancestral country out around Mt Liebig and Haasts Bluff, from an overhead view, ridge after ridge running away into the distance. Fine white dotting shifts in size and density across the linen until the surface starts to lift and hollow under your eye, the way the dunes themselves are moved and remade by wind and rain. This is ancient country and it has never once held still. Lily is a senior Law woman and one of Australia's most collected desert artists, and this piece is signed by her and comes with our gallery certificate of authenticity.

Marcie Turner Petyarre | Awelye (Body Paint) | 87 x 68.5 cm | Ref:MT506

Stop scrolling for this one. Marcie has taken her Awelye body paint designs into yellow and deep fuchsia over black, the lines chasing each other in loops and peaks across the whole canvas until it starts to move under your eye.

Awelye is the design painted onto the upper body of Anmatyerre women for ceremony, and Marcie's linear hand is unlike anyone else painting this story.

NEW ARRIVAL

Makinti Napanangka | Women's Dreaming | 95.5cm x 145.5cm | Ref:MN506

There is so much movement in this one. Broad bands of yellow, cream and deep red sweep around the canvas in long curving arcs, and four soft teal roundels sit within them. The lines are the hair string skirts and body paint designs worn by Pintupi women in ceremony, turning and lifting as the women dance.

A cool wedge of teal and plum in the lower corner anchors all that warmth.

Makinti was one of the great painters of the Western Desert and the most senior woman painting with Papunya Tula Artists, and you can feel her confidence in every stroke.
