About the Item

ABOUT THIS ARTWORK In this painting, Maringka Baker depicts the land of her childhood. She depicts a Dream, that of the creation of the hills by two female dogs, represented on the canvas in a seated position (squatting people seen from the sky) by the shape of a C. Maringka Baker is deeply attached to the cultural connections between man and his land. These ties are exploited in her paintings with great refinement of composition and meticulous attention to detail. The artist loves green cameos, rare hues in Aboriginal art. ABOUT MARINGKA BAKER Maringka Baker was born around 1952 in the bush at Kaliumpil, a traditional campground in Western Australia. After the death of her parents, she was raised by other family members and went to school in Warburton and Ernabella. She obtained a degree in health before working at the Irrunjtyu Community Clinic. Today, she lives and works with her husband in Kanpi, South Australia. She began painting in 2004, as a way of safeguarding and promoting her maternal heritage. Her works are in prestigious collections. In 2007, she was one of two Central Desert artists represented in the NGA's Inaugural National Indigenous Art Triennial Culture Warriors Exhibition, which toured Australia and the USA.

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...
