His works have progressed from the restrained, meticulously executed Emu Dreaming stories to stunning bold abstracts using bold sweeping brush strokes and striking combination of colours. The works capture the very essence of Kudditji’s country Utopia, Central Australia. Like his famous older sister the late Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Kudditji is a custodian of this country. Although both Emily and her brother developed a more abstract style in the later years, they both remained faithful to their designated Dreaming stories. Kudditji knows this country well. He has travelled across it on foot, as a stockman and as a miner. His works capture the very essence of his traditional country – varying from patchwork of brilliant irregular squares representing various tracts of land to sweeping horizons that reflect the wide flat horizons of the weathered desert landscape. The most recent My Country works of Kudditji Kngwarreye have captured international attention where perhaps abstract indigenous art is more readily accepted. Most recently he was represented at the Arken Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen to huge success. Although a frail man now approaching his eightieth year, Kudditji continues to paint his country in a passionate and compelling way the colours of his country. Central Art has acquired a unique collection of eleven recent works in the My Country series by the senior Utopian artist Kudditji Kngwarreye. http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/artists/kudditji-kngwarreye.php http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/artists/kudditji-kngwarreye.php Utopia aboriginal art regions of central australia boundary bore central australia eastern anmatyerre emily kame kngwarreye emily kngwarreye emu dreaming kngwarreye kudditji kudditji kngwarreye my country utopia Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:51:34 +0930 Naiyarlindji country and lived for may years at the Ngukurr Community (now called Yugul Mangl) on the Roper River in the Northern Territory.

On her death in 2006, Minnie left a substantial body of work which conveyed her deep connection to the land and the knowledge of the foods that it provides. Yet Minnie Pwerle did not produce acrylic works until she was in her eighties, ten years before her death. Minnie Pwerle belonged to the Anmatyerre and Alyawarre tribe. Her life was traditional: one of six children and mother of seven and would have consisted of child rearing, food gathering and ceremony. Barbara Weir, her daughter is a recognised artist. When the batik project was introduced to the women of Utopia in the 1980's, Minnie in her seventies participated. When artist Lindsay Bird Mpetyane suggested the Utopian women paint on canvas using acrylic paint, Minnie, now in her eighties began to paint her traditional designs of the Awelye (Women's Ceremony) and the Bush Melon Dreaming which she had inherited. Minnie Pwerle's canvas works were an immediate success as she innovated by combining these two elements. Her works are mesmerising and deeply moving, raw, bold and experimental and appealed to audiences around the world.

He lived on a cattle station (Angus Downs) in a traditional environment, where he was influenced by his forefathers. Today, he still practices his responsibilities and rituals and now takes his place as a teacher of traditional law to young men. Vincent was instrumental in setting up Central Land Council, Central Australian Aboriginal Congress, Aboriginal Legal Services, Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA) and its television station Imparja. Growing up as a stockman and stationhand, Vincent came to know his country intimately. His grandfather's showed him the landscape and told him the stories, associated with his country and Alice Springs, where he became the Aboriginal historian of the area. His grandmother's showed him bush foods and bush medicine for both Luritja and Aranda country. It was in his teens when working as a cattleman, that the tourism industry was in its infancy and Vincent began working as a tour guide. He later became a very popular guide at Kings Canyon, a ranger at Uluru/Kata Juta National Park and later a specialist guide at Alice Springs Desert Park. He was also heavily involved in Territory and National politics, as the chairman of the National Aboriginal Conference (the precursor to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission) where he worked as an Indigenous advisor to three Australian Prime Ministers - Gough Whitlam, Malcolm Fraser and Bob Hawke - was a founding member of the Makarrata treaty committee (under the Fraser Government), the Australian member for the World Council of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva, worked with UNFSCO in Paris for the return of sacred objects to traditional Australian Indigenous owners. Vincent Forrester's spiritual connection to the land, his identity as a story teller and tour guide, has led to the artistic endeavour comprising his most recent set of paintings. Vincent's art represents a narrative and spiritual legacy to his seven children and seven grandchildren. http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/artists/vincent-forrester.php http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/artists/vincent-forrester.php Artists Mutitjulu alice springs desert park aranda australian aboriginal media association ayers rock central land council kings canyon kuta juta luritia mutitjulu uluru vincent forrester Sat, 10 Feb 2007 14:09:03 +0930 Violet Petyarre was born c.1946 at Atnagkere Soakage, Central Australia.

Other Warlpiri artists work incorporated in the poster include Dadu Gorey Nungarrayi and Maureen Hudson Nampijinpa. Our photographer Marianna Massey provided wonderful desert images of the area. This company represents independent and foreign films. Being produced is an Aboriginal film called SAMPSON & DELILAH. This film will be presented in the upcoming Cannes Films Festival in Paris this month and already there is optimism that this film will be somewhere in the official selection. It tells the story of Samson, a cheeky 15-year-old boy, and Delilah who live in an isolated Aboriginal community in the Central Australian desert. In amongst a tiny collection of houses, everything here happens in a cycle. Day in and day out – nothing changes, everything stays the same and no one seems to care. The two teenagers soon discover that life outside the community can be cruel. Though hungry and rejected Samson and Delilah fall in love. It is all they have. It is real. And when tragedy strikes they turn their backs on home and embark on a journey of survival. Lost, unwanted and alone they discover that life isn’t always fair, but love never judges. A special screening for Alice Springs residents at the Telegraph Station took place a few weeks ago. An amazing crowd of over 3000 people attended the event. Helen McEwen , Sabine's assistant saw the film and enjoyed it, because it showed exactly how it is; the many hardships and difficult situations many Aboriginal people are faced with sometimes without knowing where help available. We need to continue to work and improve Aboriginal people lives and give the young people self esteem and encouragement. ]]> http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2009/05/samson-delilah.php http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2009/05/samson-delilah.php News aboriginal actors aboriginal film aboriginal poster alice springs cannes festival cannes film festival central art central australia dadu gorey nungarrayi france lander river marissa gibson maureen hudson nampitjin news newsletter paris rowan mcnamarra samson and delilah stella mcnamarra warlpiri artists warlpiri film warlpiri teenagers Mon, 04 May 2009 12:44:35 +0930 gift cards. ]]> http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2009/04/aboriginal-textile-gift-card-l.php http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2009/04/aboriginal-textile-gift-card-l.php News . aboriginal textiles aboriginal icongraphy aboriginal textile gift cards alice springs central australia news Sat, 11 Apr 2009 10:33:38 +0930

This symposium will be organised around three core themes: Histories, Legacies and Continuing Traditions. 'Led by photographer and self-taught ethnologist Charles P Mountford, the 1948 Arnhem Land Expedition is one of the most significant scientific expeditions ever mounted in Australia - and also one of the least understood. A team of 17 researchers and support staff undertook the seven-month odyssey, working from three principal bases in Arnhem Land. From various disciplinary perspectives, they investigated the people and the environment of the region. In addition to ethnologists, archaeologists, photographers and film-makers, the expedition included a botanist, a mammalogist, an ichthyologist, an ornithologist and a team of nutritional scientists and Indigenous guides.' The symposium will reflect the interdisciplinary makeup of the expedition itself. The National Geographic Society and Smithsonian Institution will be represented. The symposium will include a diverse range of stimulating and innovative speakers, giving presentations appealing to both specialised scholars as well as to the general public. The final day will include workshops or master classes, targeted at special interest groups, Indigenous researchers or postgraduates specialising in cross-cultural research. Access to the Museum’s substantial holdings of 1948 material will also be provided. Central Art would like to encourage you to attend this symposium and visit their website at www.nma.gov.au/research/centre_for_historical_research/conferences_and_seminars/barks_birds_billabongs_expedition_arnhem_land/ for more information.

The new magazine Australia Aboriginal Art is devoted entirely to the Aboriginal art world. Its creator Steve Bush, whose passion in art, inspired this new venture. Central Art is excited about this magazine, as it focuses on the positives rather than the controversies about Aboriginal art. Readers will now have the opportunity to read about the artist and their work. As Steve Bush says "Its about art, the artists and their country". Aboriginal Art is culture.

Each necklace or bracelet is comprised of gum nuts, acacia seeds and ininti seeds. Aboriginal artist Leonie Campbell explains that the Gum nut seeds are collected while they are still green, they are sorted, cleaned, dried and then drilled or poked using hot wire to make a hole to tread through the string. Art is culture for Aboriginal people. Using acrylic paints she decorates the gum nuts with Aboriginal symbols and patterns, which can have multiple meanings referring to the dreamings. The painted gum nuts are then several times lacquered with high gloss. Each necklace or bracelet is accompanied with a biography of the Artist and will make a beautiful present or a corporate gift. Central Art will gift wrap it for.

Well these two young Aboriginal women will be part of a new generation of Aboriginal artists. They will be an inspiration to other emerging young artists and will change the way artists process their work. Like the Williams sisters who stand on the tennis arena Sarrita and Tarisse will go to the forefront of contemporary Aboriginal art. It is their goal to interpret the Dreamings and culture of their people in new and interesting ways. Their works are visually interesting to admire, using colours and different techniques of application each work is unique. While these young women use their painting as an escape from the world in which they live, it is hopeful that a new movement will be born. Sarrita and Tarisse are second generation painters, their inspiration and encouragement to paint came from their father William King Jungala whose paintings depicted the physical elements of his land and country. Sarrita and Tarisse have created brilliant works which add their own personal feelings and ideas stemming from their fathers teachings. Unfortunately in 2007 William King Jungala passed away suddenly, Central Art was very privileged to have known and worked with William and during 2007 were able to complete several audio interviews with him. Recently the sisters visited our showroom where we were able to have photographs of the girls with their paintings. Sarrita and Tarrise mentioned that they had recently met Ronnie Tjampitjinpa and were fascinated with his style and technique which is very different to their own. They felt it was quite an honour to be able to sit with him as he painted. It is wonderful and refreshing to see these two young women taking the time to communicate and learn from a different generation of artists. This dynamic duo has other close family members who also have the same ambition and skills, for instance their cousin Talisha King who is also an artist Central Art represents. All of these young and talented women have the potential and desire to go far in the art world and Central Art is more than happy to encourage and support this new, exciting and diverse Aboriginal art movement into the future. ]]> http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2009/02/the-king-sisters.php http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2009/02/the-king-sisters.php News contenporary aboriginal art emerging artists katherine ronnie tjampitjinpa sarrita king talisha king tarisse king william king william king jungala Tue, 17 Feb 2009 19:55:12 +0930 We need another Evonne Goolagong Cawley", who was Australia's very first Aboriginal sports person to gain international acclaim. On Marianna's return from Melbourne she produced some amazing photographs especially of the Nadal versus Federer game. We would like to thank Marianna for allowing us to display some of her favourite photographs. Central Art was especially thrilled that Nadal won. It is a real survival story which inspires all sports stars. When Nadal began his tennis career his family struggled to support him, now several years down the track and lots of hard work here he is winning the Australian Open and being placed number one in the world. The same journey can be taken in the art world and Central Art hopes that their artists too will continue to grow in recognition and success. Very sadly we will be losing Marianna as she and her husband Tom will be leaving for London shortly to continue their travels. For those London Galleries - watch out here she comes.

These five artists represent themselves in the art market and distribute their unique works to a variety of places; they are supported by many local businesses and people in and around Alice Springs including galleries, markets and local shops. The result is a spectacular collection of very affordable art that makes a special gift especially at this time of year. Our first artist is June Sultan Napanga. Her paintings depict the hunting and gathering of bush tucker. She incorporates Aboriginal iconography with modern painting techniques, vibrant and bold colours in fine detail. Angelo Burgoyne Judda commenced painting 8 years ago. His story recalls his tribal group’s journey in search of food in the Pitjantjatjara lands after rain. Angelo uses bright colours such as reds and greens to represent the desert landscape after the rain. Betty Mbitjana, the daughter of the very famous Minnie Pwerle (deceased) and sister to the ever popular Barbara Weir. Betty’s paintings show the same remarkable use of colour as her late mother and she combines the women’s ceremony (awelye) with her bush melon dreaming which creates a remarkable depiction of both circles and lines. Betty inherited this Dreaming from her mother. Bevan Jampitjinpa was taught by the elders in his family and uses very traditional designs and iconography to display his stories of hunting bush tucker and men’s ceremonies. Using the traditional dotting design and very natural tones of paint such as browns, reds, white (all colours that can be ground from ochre stones in the desert) Bevan is able to remain true to a traditional style of storytelling. Trephina Sultan Thanguwa feels a great pride in telling her Burning Grass and Bush Honey stories which have been passed down from her family. She also recently painted a special piece titled “My Grandfathers Story” which Central Art was excited to acquire. Her most popular style is the depiction of burning grass. Using vibrant reds and yellows Trephina is able to illustrate the natural occurrence of bushfires in the desert. This is of particular importance in the desert as it allows for the regeneration of new growth. These five artists all show courage, self reliance and independence to represent themselves and their stories. They provide the buyer with a wide choice of very affordable and original pieces of art and Central Art is only too pleased to recognise their great strength of character and dedication to their art, culture and heritage as emerging Aboriginal artists. For these artists painting their Dreamtime stories is a love and gives them great inspiration in their lives.

The AEC's aim is the placement and long-term retention of 50,000 Indigenous people into 'Covenant Jobs' within a two-year period. The Australian Government is supportive of the AEC initiative in line with its commitment to halving the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous employment outcomes over a decade.

The mix of colours captured my attention as she incorporated Aboriginal iconography very naturally into her contemporary designs. What moved me the most was that in producing these works Marie expressed her own satisfaction at being able to reach her Grandmother's spirit. The seven works in the series 'My Grandmother's Journey' depicts the physical and spiritual journey artist Marie Napurrulla took to search for her Aboriginal Grandmother. Her Grandmother had been a cameleer travelling between Tempe Downs Station and the mission settlement at Hermannsburg in Central Australia. At that time, Aboriginal women often accompanied the men assisting with local knowledge, the transportation of goods and as cooks. These journeys' were long and difficult and required a special resilience to cope with the harsh conditions in the desert without any modern conveniences. In her paintings, Marie imagined the tracks and stopping points her Grandmother must have made as she crossed the hot and arid landscape time after time between the cattle station and the Lutheran mission. Marie Napurrulla's striking paintings are a fusion of contemporary and traditional elements. She predominantly uses the traditional black, white, ochre and red paint and incorporates the iconic Aboriginal symbols in black and white to show meeting places and tracks. Yet she is able to capture the landscape in a contemporary style with her free flowing abstract forms juxtaposed between the black and white lines. The results are a series of works that are bold and unique and which have captured the ever-changing desert landscape in a way known only to those who have intimately travelled within it.

The Tjapaltjarri brothers were hailed as ‘the Last nomads’ in the international press when they and six of their relatives left their nomadic life in October 1984 and made contact with their Pintupi relatives at Kiwirrkurra for the first time in over twenty years. This was to be their first contact with the Western world. Until this time, the brothers had lived a traditional life unchanged from the way their ancestors had lived for thousands of years At Kiwirrkurra, they were introduced to the Papunya Tula Artists Cooperative and within three years they had become established Pintupi artists of the Western Desert. Their works became an immediate success.

We talked to him about the Abie Loy competition amongst other things. What inspired you to enter this competition? I noted the competition in one of your mail-outs and really loved the painting both from a colour and movement perspective which prompted me to enter the competition. Incidentally, a friend bought a Gloria Petyarre painting recently, a B&W 'medicine leaves' style painting which I really like and no doubt influenced the decision What does this piece mean to you? Apart from the obvious value of the piece, I love the movement in the painting. This is the type of picture that you can look at for hours and is a discussion piece for any visitors come round. Unlike much of the low end commercial Aboriginal Art that floods the market, this piece is quite unusual and unique. Is this the start of your collection or do you have any other Aboriginal Art pieces? To be honest, I have only recently started to buy Aboriginal Art. I have been disappointed by much of the low-quality mass produced Aboriginal art in the market which quite frankly turned me off. Tell us about your collection I have 3 other Aboriginal paintings plus my newest addition by Abie Loy Kemarre thanks to Central Art. Apart from some contemporary European art, I hope to add a number of new Aboriginal pieces in the near future. What do you love about Australian Aboriginal Art? I generally buy art for the aesthetic value rather than looking at whether something is a collector's piece or not. The thing I like about Aboriginal art, apart from being abstract and aesthetically appealing, is the symbolism behind the art. Every picture has a story and it is knowing the story behind the picture that makes the picture more interesting. What other artists would you like to collect/invest in? Probably Gloria Petyarre & George Tjungurrayi. Probably from European (Iranian now living in Holland) artists like Persheng Warzandegan. What is difficult about collecting Aboriginal Art? Finding real aesthetically pleasing pieces that have value and are not amongst the mass-produced commercial art that you encounter in many of the tourist traps. Do you purchase Aboriginal Art over the internet? I have purchase art online on one occasion. It was a gift for my brother in the US and the shop was in Queensland. It is my preference to see the paintings in person however so that I can get a feeling of scale, I can see the brush strokes, etc. Depending on the quality of the pictures on the internet, I may be inclined to purchase over the internet. More often nowadays, people are posting a number of pictures at different scales on the internet to give buyers a better 'feel' for the artwork. ]]> http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2008/06/central-art-talks-with-gareth.php http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2008/06/central-art-talks-with-gareth.php Competition abie loy abie loy competition abie loy kemarre Sat, 28 Jun 2008 12:17:02 +0930 A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describes an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system. On a website where many users tag many items, this collection of tags becomes a folksonomy. Tagging was popularized by websites associated with Web 2.0 and is an important feature of many Web 2.0 services. It is now also part of some desktop software. Central Art Aboriginal Art Store uses tags for each artwork, artist, news item, art and culture page and every other page on the Central Art website. We do this so that you can search our site and see how different pages relate to one another. We use categories for structured links and tags for unstructured links. Some examples of tag pages include:

• All pages that relate to the artist Colleen Wallace can be found at: http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/tags/colleen%20wallace
• All pages that relate to Pitjantjatjara can be found at: http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/tags/pitjantjatjara
• All artists, news items, artworks and culture pages relating to Utopia can be found at: http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/tags/utopia
• For pages relating to the Petyarre sisters you can search: http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/tags/petyarre

As you can see, tags are a very powerful way to move users around a website. We hope that you find this function useful.

In this edition we highlight the Peter Taylor Tjutjataja feature, our Abie Loy competition and some new features on the Central Art website. We are honoured to present a special exhibition celebrating the water colour landscape paintings by Peter Taylor Tjutjataja. Peter Taylor follows an unbroken tradition of Hermansburg watercolours that goes back more than six decades, when Albert Namatjira became one of the most sought after Australian artists in Australia in the mid 20th Century. Peter told me that when he was a young child at Hermansburg he would sit and watch Uncle Albert paint and he recalls that Natamjira said to him 'you'll be an artists too one day'', says Sabine Haider, Director of Central Art. To see some of Peter Taylor's incredible watercolours see the artist feature or read our feature article below to learn more. On March 24 we launched a new competition. The competition celebrates the contribution Abie Loy Kemarre has made to the Aboriginal Art industry by giving our mailing list members a chance to win one of her artworks. The competition has already received an enormous number of entries. We are loking forward to more in May, so why don't you enter now? We have created an Aboriginal Art symbols glossary. As this feature develops it will allow users to easily search the website by particular symbols. We are very excited about some of our new developments and can't wait to share them with you. For more information about the Peter Taylor feature please read our feature article below - and remember to enter the Abie Loy competition as many times as you like.

The recent demand for acrylic paintings from the Central and Western Desert has overshadowed the Indigenous water colour artists, but they still play a major role in contemporary Aboriginal art. These works hold a very special interest for me because of the masterful way Peter can capture the beauty and the soul of his country. I have never met an artist who is so in love with his homeland and he produces his very best works when he is out bush, says Haider.

The painting depicts the journey path the Tingari ancestors travelled, creating and shaping sacred ceremonial sites. The Tingari ancestors performed ceremonies and instilled law and culture to the Pintupi Aboriginal people of the Western Desert. Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri came to Kiwirrkurra with his family in 1984. This family group was considered to be one of the last Pintupi who made contact with modern Australia. His art is a very important testimony to the time-honored way of living and the beliefs that sustained the Aboriginal people for centuries. Warlimpirrnga began painting for Papunya Tula Artists on canvas with acrylics only three years after emerging from his traditional country around Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay).]]> http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2008/04/tingari-cycle-by-warlimpirrnga.php http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/news/2008/04/tingari-cycle-by-warlimpirrnga.php Artists aboriginal people aboriginal spirituality collector corporate featured kintore and kiwirrkurra aboriginal art aboriginal paintings from the western desert papunya tula aboriginal art movement pintupi pintupi aboriginal people tingari tingari ancestors tingari cycle tjaplatjarri warlimpirrnga warlimpirrnga tjapaltjarri Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri Thu, 24 Apr 2008 04:09:43 +0930 Kudditji Kngwarreye.
