Dynamic Duo - The King Sisters>

Who are the King sisters? ... 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.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 that add their own personal feelings and ideas stemming from their father’s 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 are young, talented and full of inspiration and Central Art is delighted to encourage and support this new, exciting and diverse Aboriginal art movement into the future.
