Contemporary Australian Aboriginal Painting by Walangkura Napanangka

A striking abstract painting by Australian Aboriginal painter Walangkura Napanangka (1940-2014), one of the matching pair painted in 2007 in Alice Spring. Entitled "Kutungka", acrylic on Belgium linen, inscribed on reverse with gallery catalog no.
"Kutungka" depicts the landscape of a country where an old woman named "Kutungka" travelled from Malparingya to Kaltarra in Western Desert during the Dreamtime creation. The highly abstract forms are the dreamtime memory of the land features, such as rock piles and waterholes.
Provenance: Grasstree Gallery, Australia.
It comes with a COA from the gallery as well as progressive photos taken during the creation of this painting by the artist in 2007.

Aboriginal Painting 'Pirlinyanu' by Julie Nangala Robinson (1973-)
Located in NICE, FR
In this extraordinary aboriginal painting, Julie Nangala Robinson depicts 'Pirlinyanu,' her father's country for which she is the custodian, near Mina Mina, a rocky land rich in deep water sources. Through her exploration of the water dream, she develops her unique visual language, continuing the colour contrast research initiated by her mother. Her canvases are minimalist, contemporary, and often painted primarily with three colours (mostly white, black, and red). This artwork comes from an art centre and has a registration number (2113-16). These details are provided on the back of the canvas. It is sold with a certificate of authenticity.
Julie Nangala Robertson, also known as Robinson, was born in 1973 in Yuendumu, Northern Territory, Australia. She is one of the five daughters of the prominent artist Dorothy Napangardi. Robertson began painting in the late 1990s alongside her mother, Dorothy, which explains the highly refined and sophisticated technique evident in her works, passed down from her mother. With strong family roots and undeniable artistic talent, she is poised to become an iconic figure in contemporary Aboriginal art...
