Paddy Fordham Wainburranga

Paddy Fordham Wainburranga is a senior artist and one of the great story tellers of Aboriginal Culture. He was born in his fathers country at Bamdibu between Malnjangarnak and Bulman in 1936. Stylistically, Paddy does not utilize the sacred Rembarrnga rarrk designs which serve to define country. His style is bold and individual, notable for its raw vigour. Wainburranga's work has featured in numerous exhibitions overseas. Winner of the National Aboriginal Art Award in 1993, works in the White House, USA and the Australian National Gallery, Canberra. Paddy Fordham Wainburranga's works are sought-after and highly collectable. (Please note that in respect for the passing of this Aboriginal artist and their family, Central Art has removed all portrait photographs of this artist. This is in recognition of Aboriginal custom and cultural practices.)
