ABOUT THE ARTWORK: This Aboriginal painting shows traditional practices associated with the burning of areas of Spinifex country. The fires are lit so that liwirringki (burrowing skinks), lizards and small mammals are driven from their burrows and hiding places. This allows them to hunt them more easily and also promotes the fertility of the land. This ancient practice has been practised for thousands of years by the Aborigines of Australia. In this work, Paddy Sims Japaljarri, who is one of the eminent initiates of his clan, also evokes the male ceremonies of homage to the ancestors performed by these nomads steeped in spirituality in the central Australian desert. The painting comes from Warlukurlangu Art Center. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Paddy Japaljarri Sims was born in 1917. He is married to Bessie Sims Nakamarra, also a well-known artist and important initiate in his community. He was one of the first generations of aboriginal artists at the origin of the pictorial movement in Yuendumu and saw his fame become international during his trip to Paris in 1989 when he was invited to present his works on the occasion of the famous exhibition "The Magicians of the Earth" at the Georges Pompidou center. In 2000, he engraved with Paddy Stewart 30 plates from which we were going to make small-format engravings: it was with this very special work that the two men won the prize in the “best work on paper” category at the prestigious Testra Award. An essential artist and presented today as one of the founding representatives of contemporary Aboriginal painting, his works are present in all the major Australian public collections as well as at the Jacques Chirac Museum in Paris.
