Outsider Art

Bright abstract composition from the "Tingari" series by Charlie Tjapangati (Aboriginal Australian, b. 1949). Signed and numbered on verso, including artist's association info and size. Hand-stretched linen. No frame. Canvas size: 15"H x 18"W Charlie Tjapangati (Aboriginal Australian, b. 1949) was born in approximately 1949 at the site of Tjulurrunya which is west of the current day community of Kiwirrkurra in Western Australia. Charlie commenced painting for Papunya Tula Artists in 1978 and in 1999 he contributed to the Kintore Men's painting as part of the Western Desert dialysis appeal. In the following year he was chosen to complete a ground painting for the Sydney Olympics. Stories from the Tingari cycle are the usual subject of his paintings, including the monumental canvas now in the collection of the National Museum of Australia, which was shown in Australian Perspecta 81 at the Art Gallery of NSW, one of the first institutional acts of acknowledgement of Papunya Tula paintings by the Australian contemporary art world. The Tingari is the creation era when dreamtime ancestors moved across the lands, creating the features of the landscape and all aspects of the natural world. He has appeared in many group exhibitions and two solo exhibitions since his career began. His work is included in major collections such as those of the National Gallery of Australia, the University of Virginia, USA, and the Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory.
