About the Item

Contemporary Aboriginal inspired abstract by Menno Modderman, a Dutch artist painting in the south of France, signed and dated to the bottom on the passepartout. Working for several years now as an artist in his atelier in Cotignac in the south of France, Menno, who is also known for his highly detailed and realistic paintings has now turned his brush to exciting new abstract works, in this case inspired by Aboriginal art. Menno's paintings are not just interesting in their form and colour but also their texture. Each painting has a different background created by overlapping colours to create the feeling of base materials such as metal, leather and linen. This piece is painted on linen laid on card and gives an effect of metal or rock with base metals or crystals within them. The painting has been cleverly worked so that the image shines depending on the angle viewed. The dots, as Aboriginal inspired, were originally used to hide the sacred meaning of the painting. The painting can be viewed from above as a map or simply as shapes to be interpreted by the viewer. This is one in a series of five works inspired by Aboriginal art. All five are available from our store on 1st Dibs and make a wonderful collection.

Large Stunning Australian Aboriginal Painting by Naata Nungurrayi
By Naata Nungurrayi
Located in Atlanta, GA
A large and stunning contemporary abstract painting by celebrated Australian Aboriginal artist Naata Nungurrayi (1932-2021), stretched and ready for display. A rare masterpiece of the museum quality dating from the peak of the artist's creative output in 2003. The canvas is singular in both the impressive size and tine quality, and it comes with full provenance and step by step photos (100 in total) recording the creation of this significant piece of work. The artist used fine dots as the sole element to compose a complex dreamtime landscape where Women's Ceremony took place in her ancestral time. The place is located at Marrapinti and its surrounds, where many water soakage holes were located. Dots in brilliant shifting and contrasting colors form ceremonial Tingari symbols performed by the women, black crawling tracks that may be associated with a site called Karilywarra (two carpet snakes) and mesmerizing Tali (sandhill) movements surrounding the canvas. The work is of the signature style of the artist, singular and easily recognizable. The fine quality of this work is exemplary. Medium: acrylic on Belgium Linen Cat no. NN200315 Provenance: Yanda Aboriginal Art, NT. The painting comes with a COA letter and an artist biograph issued by Yanda Aboriginal Art and a presentation album with 100 photos that documented the entire process of the creation of this large work of art. The edge of the painting bears name of the artist as well as the stamp of the gallery as shown. Reference and further reading: For a relevant work by the artist, See Plate 88 and Page 220-222 in the book "Past and Present Together: Fifty Years of Papunya Tula Artists" by Meyers and Skerritt. Another similar work is illustrated on plate 13 in "Pintupi" by Hamiltons. Artist's biography: Naata Nungurrayi (1932-2021) is an Australian Aboriginal artist who was born at the site of Kumil, west of the Pollock Hills in Western Australia. She is from the Pintupi group from Kintore, Northern Territory and is one of the senior elders of the Kintore women artist movement. Naata is the sister of George Tjungurrayi and Nancy Nungurrayi, and her son is Kenny Williams Tjampitjinpa...
