Minnie Pwerle

Aboriginal Australian, 1922-2006

Minnie Pwerle was born in the Utopia region in 1915. Her traditional country is Atnwengerrp and her languages were Alyawarre and Anmatyerre. Pwerle began painting with the modern medium of acrylic paint on canvas in 1999, at around the age of 80 and found instant success after her first exhibition in Melbourne in the same year. Following a show at the AMP building in Sydney with her daughter Barbara Weir during the Sydney Olympics in 2000, her fame grew. Her incredible artistic talent and original design procured an enthusiastic national and international following of art lovers, collectors and critics alike. In the years after she took up painting in 1999 until she died in 2006, Pwerle was exhibited in many prestigious galleries in Australia and New Zealand and her work is now in the collections of many discerning and knowledgeable private collectors, as well as significant art institutions including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Queensland Art Gallery.

Australian Aboriginal Painting by Mabel Juli, Warmun Art Centre
By Mabel Juli
Located in Somerton, GB
A beautiful natural pigment painting on canvas by renowned Aboriginal painter Mabel Juli. This piece is a dreaming story. Glingennayn is the name of the Ngarranggarni (Dreaming ) rainbow. In the Ngarranggarni the rainbow was a man. As he climbed this hill, Glingennayn heard a dog barking and turned his head around to see where the dog was. He is still there on that hill, looking for the dog. The texture created by the natural earth pigment is typical of the ancient heritage of this remarkable art movement. Mabel Juli is one of the most dedicated and iconic of all Warmun artists. Her seniority and status as one of Australia’s most revered painters has emerged from a consistent and growing body of work characterized by bold yet simple compositions that are informed by nuanced and detailed stories passed onto Mabel from her family. Mabel Juli was born at Five Mile, near Moola Boola Station (south of Warmun), and was taken as a baby to Springvale Station, her mother's country. Mabel's' bush name' is Wiringgoon. She is a strong Law and Culture woman and an important ceremonial singer and dancer. Juli started painting in the 1980s, at the same time as well-known Warmun artists Queenie McKenzie and Madigan Thomas. The women used to watch Rover Thomas...
